Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Driving / January 2007Can we tow this car yet?
Here in Las Vegas, about ten years ago, a freeway leg was proposed, and construction began. It ran through a section of former desert. On that desert was an abandoned car. I use the term "car" loosely, as it was IIRC, a 50's Chevy, minus motor, tranny, hood, front clip, trunk, doors, seats, glass, and mostly everything else. What was there was the main shell, frame, axles, and that was about it. Now, legally, the car had to be tagged telling the owner that if the car was not moved in 90 (IIRC) days, that it would be towed. For the whole three months, one could pass by and see the bright orange tag on the upside down turtle of a hulk. Then, it disappeared. Aren't laws and regulations wonderful? Have any similar stories?

My neighborhood is a large apartment complex with space for off street parking to hold something like 600 cars in four separate parking lots. I have seen numerous abandoned cars in the parking lots, most with out of state plates. It takes months before those cars can be towed even though their license tags and inspection stickers are expired and they are clearly abandoned. From what I heard, there's a whole legal process that has to be done before a vehicle can be towed off the parking lots where I live even if its not for a car that's owned by a tenant. >> Here in Las Vegas, about ten years ago, a freeway leg was proposed, and >> construction began.

Pull the car out into a public street and park it so that it is askew. The police will have it towed within a very short time. We picked up my MIL at the airport when she back from her vacation last summer. As we got to her house, someone had left a car in the street blocking the driveway. One could tell it had been there for a while. We called the police, said it was blocking the driveway to an invalid's house, and within an hour, the car was gone. I guarantee you the best way to get rid of a car is to move it to a public street, park it crazy, and it will be gone before you know it. Discreetly, of course.

That would depend. Are you the clueless twit that uses the following: "Drunken Driver" <drunk@the_wheel.com > Ask me about drunk driving for fun and profit! What's up with that? And what are your qualifications for doling out legal information regarding the felony laws? It seems someone who is pro drunk driving shouldn't be throwing rocks. I'm offering ideas. Whether or not people take these ideas and use them is up to them. I have a couple for you. Post your e mail address, and I will discreetly send them to you. ;-) Steve >> Do you normally provide advice that could lead to a felony arrest? >> [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > >"Drunken Driver" <drunk@the_wheel.com Well gee, you responded to the message, so I guess I am. What's the matter, not smart enough to properly utilize your news reader? >> Ask me about drunk driving for fun and profit! > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > >It seems someone who is pro drunk driving shouldn't be throwing rocks. LMAO. You are *almost* at the bottom of the intelligence pile for those who post in this group. REALLY BIG HINT FOR YOU: you're a couple of notches up from Speeders And Drunk Drivers Are Murderers, which isn't saying much. >I'm offering ideas. Whether or not people take these ideas and use them is >up to them. I have a couple for you. Post your e mail address, and I will >discreetly send them to you. I've read enough of your posts in this group to realize your ideas are worth a little less than a pile of dog feces. By the way, moron, did you consult your driver's manual for the meaning of flashing your headlights? LMAO. >;-) > >Steve -- Ask me about drunk driving for fun and profit! > > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Discreetly, of course. Hah! That method will probably also incur a towing fee and a parking ticket. To get rid of an old car for free, just leave a few unimportant odds and ends on the front seat and park it in a bad neighborhood. It'll be gone in a few hours, and not by the authorities. |
