Thank you for your so detailed answer.I understand irony. Can I paraphase this in this way?
Parking is really troublesome and it costs me 5 dollars. There are so many cars in the parking lot that I almost cound not find where my car is . I enjoy watching people eating their food on the roo of their cars.
