You know in France there are no wheel clampers. When they started trying to clamp cars people squirted super glue into the clamp locks so the clampers had to cut their own clamps off. They stopped trying to clamp cars after a few weeks.

'Sides, you simply can not clamp some Citroëns with their high tech suspension deflated.

Thanks for the great idea. My city just lowered the number of parking tickets needed to get a boot. I think on the second one, they boot your car now. Greedy fucking city.

That video is great. I hope she got far enough to really piss the tow truck driver off.

The towtruck driver was just doing his job. But she certainly did drive far enough to make The Asmo smile.  ;D

If it is anything like where I live, the tow truck companies have deals with the local police force or local government. Certain ones get called all the time to tow cars the state orders towed. It made me smile too.

She towed the tow truck, is what she did.  :D

That is, apparently, what you get for parking with your crane hooked to someone else's car. T0wd, baby!  :D

Here, you are likely to be towed by the same truck as comes to offer you assistance when you mow down a telephone pole (Or it mows down you), have some catastrophic car failure or just can't operate the jack. Having an old car, I rather like tow trucks, as I know I can rely on them when Rusty decides to get all senile on me and forget how to... Well, work, really.
