Ok. I hear on the radio that the USHRA is hosting the Thunder Nationals, a monster truck show, at a local arena. I think about going, since everything intrigues me relating to cars, but decide not to. I am at the parts store picking up a part for my car today, and they have 5 dollar off coupons for the monster truck show. Ok I figure, 5 bucks off, I'll go. I call a friend, pick him up from work, and head down. We agree to take my car since his uses more gas. On the way down there is a lady with her car broken down on the side of the highway, and its like 5 below so I stop and give her a ride to the next exit to a diner so she can call a tow truck etc. We get to the show a bit late, so parking is scarce. Theres a McDonalds right there that was about to close for the night. I see an employee outside and pull up and ask him if theyll bitch if I park there. He says no, they dont make a big deal out of it. I park, we walk to the arena and end up standing in line FOREVER in 5 below weather. Get to the booth and the lady tells us the coupons the guy from the parts store that sponsored the show are NO good, you had to use them in advance. Sweet, he handed me a bunch of lame expired coupons. What a *****. Finally get to our seat, and the show starts. Lemme tell you, this was the WORST excuse for a monster truck show I have EVER seen. NO dirt, like 4 cars to crush, and they o0nly did like 30mph tops because the fuggin arena was so small. Then they have the equivalent of a circus clown come out, hes riding around on a tiny bike doing wheelies and **** until the "mini quad racers" come out. Theyre a bunch of 5-7 yr olds on TINY *** 4 wheelers doing like 20 laps around the arena at 5mph or some ****. Ohhh, exciting. The show ends, and as we walk to the parking lot I notice theres a crowd of people in the McDonald's lot, but my car is the ONLY one there in a huge parking lot that was FILLED when we went to the show. Get a bit further, and theres a fuggin BOOT on my car and a notice saying I have to pay 55 bucks to get the **** taken off or theyll tow my car tomorrow. I have NO cash, NO debit card on me. I notice that my door trim is broken from someone trying to get into my car. So I call the number to the towing place, start screaming, and they agree to send someone out. As I'm waiting, I'm listening to all the other people in the big crowd saying how their cars got towed and theyt have to pay a hundred and fifty bucks to get them back. "No ****" I say to myself, I lucked out somehow. All of a sudden it hits me, and I should have known because I know a few tow truck drivers. When you have a manual transmission you leave the car in gear and the ebrake on when its parked. Automatics you just put in park and be done with it. They couldnt tow my car because the ebrake was on, so they tried to break in and let off the brake/put it in nuetral, then when they broke the door piece they probably figured theyd just cut their losses and boot it so they didnt have to take the blame for breaking it. The tow truck guy pulls up and I flip out, he tells me they didnt break it and that I'm **** out of luck. I tell him theyve fucked with the wrong person, that my cousin is a lawyer and theyre gonna wish they never came near my car. He then proceeds to LEAVE! I call my mom and wake her up at 12am to ask for her credit card number so this moron can unlock my car. I then call the place back, tell them I have a way to pay now, and they send the guy back. He gets there and tells me they cant take credit cards and goes to leave again! My friend then decides to lend me the money, so he runs to the ATM across the street then comes back. As this smelly tow truck driver is unhooking the boot, I notice a HUGE scratch on the side of my car with some red flecks in it. Putting 2 and 2 together, I realize they towed the cars on all sides of me, and that somehow they ALSO scratched my car. I start flipping out, and he is having a hard time getting this thing off. He asks me if I tried to move the car. Im like "NO IDIOT, HOW THE HELL WOULD I GO ANYWHERE WITH A ****** BOOT ON IT!". Finally he gets it off, and I come home. What a fuggin mess though, my car is broken in 2 spots, a big scratch, I had to pay 55 bucks to get MY OWN CAR unlocked, and the monster truck show SUCKED. Ghey. Heres some funny pictures so you can all laugh at me and tell jokes behind my back D:

BTW, I looked up how to take the boot off on the net and its easy as hell, but I couldnt figure it out while we were there :/ I always thought boots were a thing of imagination :/






The broken door piece where they tried to pry the door open.



How the door SHOULD look.


















Some decent dirtbike freestylers

yup....that pretty much summed it up for me.
Is there nothing you can do about the damage to your car?

 

wish i had one of those so nobody would steal my crx.

 

Well I took pics, got a police report, and am going to consult my cousin tomorrow, Im sure just a few phone calls to the shop from a lawyer will make them cough up enough money to cover the boot fee, scratch, and broken door trim. If not it'll go to small claims court and I will win either way, if they don't get a lawyer Ill win in court, and even if they do get one by the time they spend the money on the lawyer they could have just paid me and been done with it.

 

Jesus H. ream that company. I'm sure you'll get something out of them. Good luck

 

paragraphs.

 

ouch.

 

They would put a boot on your car at my school if you didn't have a parking pass. So we just got a friends dad with a truck to pull the car, then took a tourch to the boot. He he....thats how ya do it.

 

that sucks big time, good luck with getting some money to fix your car! btw tow truck drivers dont give a **** bout ne thing, so its most likely it was his fault!

 

can u send a link to or tell us how to remove the boot from ur car since it is easy?

 

I worked for a tow company once. A good compnay not like your dealing with.

It can be a bastard trying to sue those people. DONE GIVE UP!! If they dont give you the money take them to court and hope you have a simpathetic judge.

And the sticker/notice from the boot says a picture was taken of the car. I wonder if a RED car is beside your in the picture???? Might be worth checking into.

 

werd send us the link on how to take that **** off??

Was the show at the pepsi? I saw the one black chevy at the price chopper. The guys were switching the wheels on it , and then crammed it into an 18 wheeler-trailior!

Who was the tow compnay?

 

Yeah it was in Albany, and to all the grammar police? Dont like it, dont read it. This isnt a friggin essay for school its a damn gearhead messageboard. I am perfectly aware of how to use perfect sentence structure and grammatical formats, I chose not to.
