SCRIBR Yaris member Member 4,486 Member For: 18y 11m 2d Gender: Male Posted 29/06/07 09:50 PM Share Posted 29/06/07 09:50 PM Last night I had a choice between doing what I wanted (going to watch the bombers ruin terry danihers day) or do what I didnt (go to an old guy from works retirement).. ofcourse I did the latter.When after rushing to get a car park & eatting my dinner.. I walk out to find a fine for $64 on my window!F*CK! all the info on is is correct.. EXCEPT the scum bag put "sedan" as the body type!How can I be excepted to see signs in the poorly lit inner city streets... if this idiot who is getting paid to rip me off cant see what shape my car is!is it worth tell em to stick it? or do I just stop complaining and take money out of my modding (bank) account to pay it?Thanks for the advise guys!

seventytwo Still have a turbo, it's just on a diesel. Lifetime Members 5,368 Member For: 19y 10m 16d Gender: Male Location: The 8th Dimension Posted 30/06/07 01:01 AM Share Posted 30/06/07 01:01 AM (edited) A sneaky way of getting out of paying for parking. Next time you are booked for parking, open the yellow envelope with a steamer so its not damaged.remove the ticket from the envelope and replace with an exact same size piece of paper and reseal.Keep the bogus ticket in the car and when parking place it on the windscreen.As you cant get booked twice for the same infringement, a parking inspector will just walk by thinking you have a ready have been pinged. 'Life Support' you get some great things from that show.
