Maxima go buh bye :sadwavey:

My maxima is not going to be with me any longer.
I amassed to many parking tickets, and hence the car has been booted and the city will come take it shortly.

she was probably the longest owned beater I've ever had (2 whole years!)
she will not go quietly into the night!!!
She has been liberated of any part I was able to pull with hand tools.
no hood, no trunk, no tail lights, no coilpacks, no door windows or regulators, no seats, no center console, no gauge cluster, no dash bezel, no mirrors.


moral of the story: Pay your parking tickets!

That sucks. I hear ya about the parking tickets. Lately I have been on a parking ticket collection spree myself. Should'nt really mess with the parking people. You cant win. I think I will go take care of my ticket tomorrow itself. On another note, did you happen to remove your hood struts / lifts . "Somebody" could always use stuff like that, if you know what I mean

it's still out front right now, you could get your heater core too then, the boot distracted me sorry.

I wanted to get as much off as I could before :
a. Rain
b. the tow truck comes for it

You're more than welcome to come down tomorrow and raid it.

that's why I pulled the hood. I don't know how good they are on the white VE5
I'm also going to have to swap front windows, the VE5 has tints all the way round

How hard is to park in a legal parking spot? If not, how expensive are the tickets?

Crap, the last parking ticket I got was $16 for overtime parking.

Don't make it easy for the b******s. Take the 3 wheels that dont have boots on them off and leave the car on cinder blocks.

Wow, the car looks like it was in great shape. Its really a shame that this is how its gonna end for the Max. OK, now since thats out of the way, you forgot to take out the shifter thingy. I'll probably be hitting you up later for the-thing-that-releases-the-shifter-lock for my 90 GXE (If it'll work for the GXE). Also, is it legal to strip the car like that? And like someone mentioned, take the wheels too. I would love to see the face of the tow truck guy when he comes to pick up the car. Probably cost more to tow the car than all the tickets added up.
