first parking ticket in the 128i

I was on queen street in Toronto last night and got a parking ticket

a) someone must have stood out there in the rain and gave the parking ticket while admiring my car

b) I parked there at 8:45pm when it is free parking after 9pm

c) It didn't look like anyone else got a ticket but me (and they didn't pay at the parking meter as well).. oh how sweet is the parking officer?

just posting a thread to celebrate this moment ..

Why not just throw a quarter in the meter?

If it's a Friday night, ya, those traffic/parking cops are vultures. I recall a moment when a guy with a Ferrari parked in a non parking location and a cop gave him a ticket. Clearly the kid had too much money so he didn't car so he left it there. The cop said ever half hour ur getting another ticket, I'm gonna stay here to give it to you until you move this car. The kid proceeded to go clubbing and the cop stayed there. By the time I finished watching a movie with my friends, the guy was still there giving out tickets! The Ferrari had 4 pieces of paper on his windshield lol

I guess they want you to circle the block for 15 minutes and burn up emissions needlessly rather than park 15 minutes earlier than is allowed?

In hindsight oh well.. There were factors that contributed to this completely preventable incident.

Needless to say, I blamed it on the passenger lol.
