The real question is: Why arent they handling international shipments?

I may still have a photo of this somewhere, but leaving a parking garage once the screen asked me to pay approximately $252,000.00 for parking. Read more

$80? That’s almost the standard overnight parking in Chicago. 3 to 4 hours usually costs $22. Read more

I recently parked in a place where you swipe your credit card to enter (which I’m assuming they use as a timestamp to calculate the fee on exit) then you just swipe your credit card at the exit where it charges you the amount you owe. It was supposed to be $8 per day, but I parked it on a friday and retrieved it the Read more

Another good reason to own a Lotus 7 (or clone.) You can just slide right under those dang parking gates like a boss, humming the theme from the prisoner as you fly out of the garage.

Not had a charge that high before, but I do tend to take tickets with me when it’s not a ‘pay and display’ car park. Read more

I went to Chicago to pick up a car a couple years ago with my father in law. Everything went well but my wife is a huge fan of a pizza shop out there which is a 9 hour drive (I dont get it either). So me being the nice loving husband I am I decided we would stop and pick her up a couple (Frozen). My FIL is driving one Read more

Over here we have several places that extort charge that much on a missing ticket. The day someone came with the idea of using the same wireless system used on toll roads to charge for parking, I immediately bought one and slapped it next to my rear view mirror. There’s a monthly fee of $5, plus whatever the parking Read more

Leaving your ticket in the car isn’t always best either. The garage I park in for work (I pay monthly so I just scan my badge) there are automated ticket pay things on the bottom floor. You’re supposed to take your ticket with you, then on the way back to the car you pay at the little booth, then you have 20 minutes Read more

Came here to post this. Unfortunately, I imagine the supply of Reliant Robins is so small in Japan you’d have a better chance of Moses happening by to part the parking gates than you would of being able to push a Robin out of the way. But hey, maybe the same principle applies to Daihatsu Midgets... Read more

That’s a killer charge. Reminds me of a buddy who lost his toll ticket on the PA Turnpike. He had his window open and the ticket on the dash. His 12 yr old son told him it’ll blow out the window, but we adults always know better....lol. He went to grab it coming into the toll booth and it flew out the window. The Read more

Nice

The UpGarage at the Fuchu Interchange is where I’ve had the best luck finding fun parts; last time I was there they had a set of AE101 ITBs for ~$65 and a set of HKS 4AGE cam gears for about the same. The only downside is it’s a bit off the beaten path and can be time consuming - though not particularly difficult - to Read more
