We decide to call it a night, and I drive home, I have to use the bathroom real bad, I live in a town house so my parking stall is kinda far away, so I park in the guest parking at my house because it's right in front of my door, this was at 11:55 or so, and there is no parking in guest stalls after midnight. I go in do my business, go outside at like 12:10, and my car is gone. Now I know it was parked there beyond the time limit, but come on!! It was 15 min!! I wasn't hurting anybody!! They just gave me a 300$ speeding ticket for going 58mph in a 55mph zone. GHEY!!! Aww f@#$ my life. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

GHEY!!! Sucks with tickets like that, for wrong parking for 10 minutes. I think they were not too nice about that, could have let it go. That speeding ticket was not for spending 15 minutes !?!! in the toilet, I'm sure of that. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I just think that it is very extreme to tow a car for being wrongly parked for 10 min. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

If your a male driver under a certain age (somewhere around 23) your insurance is ridiculous. For females ts way less somewhere around like $300 less a year here in Southern Cali. Now I know this is B.S. because even though its now against the law to talk on a cell phone without a headset they still do, and now are worse drivers than ever. Somethings are ridiculous .

Like you said, it was somewhere around $300, and it wasn't even a sports car. Pisses me off You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

You and I don't pay near that much do we? Well maybe you do...you might be a serial speed offender for all I know, but my insurance is very reasonable, cheaper than it was.....Oh jeeez, I have been driving for 28 yrs. Oh and we can still drive and hold the phone up to our ear here....and smoke in bars....imagine it of you can. heh! It won't last too much longer I'm afraid. Anywho, rock on guys.

Cool thing was that at the towing place(where they only take cash) these guys were all confused about how they have 40$ less than what they thought they withdrew, I noticed that I had an extra 40$ from what I withdrew, I thought evil thoughts for about 10 seconds before I asked if he had just withdrew money from the ATM I did, he said yes, and I gave him the 40$ back. It seemed to had made his day that this young dude with long hair and a beard, who is usually percieved as a troublemaker, was actually being honest. Gave me a nice warm fuzzy feeling inside. Oh yes, RIP Dime, improving rockers reputations one tiny good deed at a time. It may seem really weird, but doing that little nice thing for that guy, made this whole thing seem worth it, now I couldn't care less about getting revenge on the guy that watched my car, waiting to tow it. Oh yea, I like it when crappy adventures end with a good moral. Thanks for all the kinds word guys, it really helps. Oh yea, and insurance can suck.
