Poo parking an tow oh no!

Poo parking?, originally uploaded by blix613.

So I got a call from a friend of mine that will remain nameless last night, went something like this.

“Dude, thank god you’re there! Listen, I been dealing with this stomach thing like all week and I’m driving home and I suddenly have to go $hit really bad”
I giggle (like you wouldn’t)
“anyway, I pull in to this parking lot and run into this store to go and when I came back out my car had been towed! It’s over at this tow yard on Clark and Lawrence and it’s $170 + 40 bucks a day and man, I don’t have it can you please help me out I’ll pay you back Thursday”

I’m not laughing as much now. Really I asked and thought about it and figured whatever I’ll help him out. read more

So I ride over there no big deal short trip and I can feel the Karma points rising.Â Here are a few shots of some really unlucky pissed off scooter riders cause notice the fee.Â Yep That’s $170 +$40 a day for a CAR and $500 for a scooter or “motorcycle” WTF!Â So fellow Chi-scooterist do all you can NOT to get towed or it will cost you more than you ever thought legal.

Even the Lube is extra

Several years ago Lincoln Towing yanked my scooter that wasn't even parked in a lot they patrol. I was parked on the sidewalk (adjacent to the lot). Outside of getting ripped off for the fee (at the time the cost was the same as an automobile), my scoot got pretty nicked up from daggling from the tow truck. Unfortunately there was no recourse, but thought of several evil (and illegal) ways to get back them. Fortunately, I never acted on those thoughts of the ultimate glory.
