  1. That’s another reason I don’t miss big cities-I haven’t had a parking ticket in 20 years. This thing is hideous-what kind of mind comes up with this shit?

    One time back in the 70s, I came out to my car for a holiday road trip to see mom. Fucking boot on my wheel. I was able to remove the entire wheel, boot & all, and replace it with my spare. Went on my holiday, came back, replaced the wheel and paid the tickets.

    When parking management came to remove it, they commented how strange it was that my car hadn’t been towed after the 3 days they’ll give you.

    Assholes.

  2. You know that some people will just drive off with that thing on their windshield. They’ll stick their heads out the driver’s side window and drive away. When they cause accidents or run over pedestrians, the city officials will say it’s a tragedy. Lawyers for victims will say otherwise.

  3. Well, on a positive note, it is stackable.
    Is this crap any indication of how far government is able to push us? So thankful to live high in the Rockies (elevation that is).

  4. “They’ll stick their heads out the driver’s side window and drive away.”

    “Diamond in the back, sunroof top,
    Diggin’ the scene, with the Barnacle lean…”

  5. I can tell you that a can of WD-40 (and its spray-straw) will make quick work of that sh!t overnight.

    In the alternative, maybe leave your car unlocked and let a Philly street thug steal the whole damn thing, car and all?

  6. ID suction cup location from the inside, take cordless drill with a tiny bit, drill 2 holes, and its adios suckers.
    A friends work van got the boot once, he pulled out his oxy/acet tanks, cut it off and drove away. Nothing is undefeatable.

  7. If you park under a tree and accumulate a lot of bird shit, they will have to clean your windshield before that contraption will stick.

    Fake bullet hole stickers may be a useful deterrent.

    I believe the slim jim and drill bit mentioned above would also work. Tell the pricks you had to get to a hospital and sue the shit out of them for the delay.
