Ah, but part of the reason for meters is to limit the duration of your stay. Public street parking relies on constant turnover - if there were no time limits, then there would be no constant supply of spaces opening up throughout the day.

Yeah, I think it would be more accurate to say "BOTH your mirrors are missing." A single missing mirror could just as easily be attributed to a third party, but if both are missing, then it's probably safe to assume that the driver either knocked them off him/herself, or doesn't care enough to get them replaced. …

And to think, they probably would have gotten away with it if it hadn't been wrong-wheel-drive.

Apparently some folks are unclear on the concept of an estimate. Plus it came from "one of the officials" at the scene - probably a cop or tow truck operator, neither of whom could be considered an expert in Hyundai pricing (or math, for that matter).

Couldn't have said it better myself.

All the world hates a spammer.

Times change, as does society's awareness of other people's sensibilities. Ayers Rock in Australia is another example - the local people have always considered it a sacred site, but this was not widely publicized or respected until fairly recently. Back in the day, tourists would ascend "the rock" in their droves -…
