Cars & Hanging out with friends in Auckland

Owning a car is matter of necessity and convenience. But convenience comes at a price. Even though the parking is free, it's only for limited time. So even if we want to spend more time talking or playing social games in a coffee shop or restaurant with friends, we can't extend the time limit unless we are willing to order more. 

Last night after evening church service, some of us decided to go to Denny's for extended fellowship. As some of us owns a car, we decided to go back cars instead of walking 3 km . We knew there is a car park at Denny's but didn't knew the fact that we are only allowed for one and half hours. The parking voucher is available with the manager of Denny's.  

Just before the time limit was about to expired I went to the manager to check if we are allowed to extend the time limit, so that we could spend more time talking or playing games with friends. Even though I don't own a car, spending time with friends is a magic of the moments. 

The manager did said, yes we can extend the time limit on the car park, but there was a condition. As our group was bigger and we were using more than one car park. We need to place more order for the food. Well, their request was reasonable as they doing business and there is only limited car park spaces available. We just want to chitchat and have a good time with friends. We decided not to extend the time limit and leave the place other hungry customers with cars.  

So owning a car is just the matter of necessity. As with cars we need to find a place to park the car for long hours so that we can spend more time with friends. Without worrying for the tow companies to tow away our cars. And if you really want to hangout for long hours with friends its best to find a place where ample car park space is available.
