I mean... you managed to come out of it okay doing it your way, but that doesn't mean it was a good idea... as all the resulting parking tickets indicates.

When I finally got on my feet I paid the tickets off, fixed up the car and become a solid, upright citizen again. But don't hate, brother, 'til you've walked a mile in someone else's shoes.

Given how much some of you are paying for tickets, you might actually save a few bucks if you took cabs instead.

These Chariots can go as fast as 25 mph (that's a special order model) but I think they typically clock them to about 12 mph. But, I doubt they can hop a curb too well. In fact, I'll bet a Mountain Bike can go lots of places that one of these things can't go. Including up and down stairs.

The "sell" on them is that it improves community policing by getting police out among people rather than sitting in their car. I can believe that. But, as I said, a Mountain Bike can do the same thing.

Bikes...no matter how far technology advances, that invention will be with us forever.

forgot about a driving without insurance ticket. Even though I had insurance at the time, the guy on the phone said it's too late to dispute it. I think that's the most money i've ever burnt for no particular reason.

Huh. Well that doesn't make any sense. How fast do those things go anyway? Is it possible to outrun them? That would be hilarious.

whatever you do, don't take it out on the parking cops, since, after all, it's your own damn fault.

Seriously, what the hell is wrong with you people? Park legally. If you don't, and you get caught, PAY YOUR FUCKING FINE ALREADY.

I'm going to assume that parking enforcement rarely has to chase down any bad guys.

Of course I protested it and didn't have to pay, but still. It was a major pain in the ass.

As an aside: $625? That's impressive! I think I woulda skipped town instead.
