This BMW gets the boot.


This person had enough money to buy or lease a BMW, but not enough to pay their parking tickets.

The car looks really clean, too. Maybe just got a car wash?

The rack on the car suggests that they have an alternative...

I can't believe how much street cleaning tickets are, nowadays...they used to be $30. Hah! So give the guy a break. In what will he look good in stop-and-go traffic everyday?

Should be interesting if his Bimmer is an all wheel drive.

Wow I almost rented a room in this apt when I was looking at places. Let's just say there was some shady business going on...

Maybe that's what the BMW owner's money is going for instead of paying those parking tix?

What a pointless post.

This is an old 3-Series, at least 4-6 years old. The person who drives this is probably poor in the first place. It's not an expensive car.

Lol, okay. A 5 year old beamer costs as much as a new Corolla or Accord.

I think the same thing when I see expensive cars with body damage. Don't people have enough to pay for the repairs if they have that car in the first place? Or at least good insurance?

It's funny, but I feel bad too. I know that getting your car booted sucks a lot. Have fun taking the bus to work.

POOR?! Are you fucking insane?! In what reality do you live?

I live in reality. This BMW is worth $15,000 at most. Hence, poor.

What do you consider people who aren't able to afford cars at all? Or drive 20 year old beater toyotas worth $800?

POOR?! Are you fucking insane?! In what reality do you live?

Gotta say it's very easy to bookbyitscover this situation and assume the vehicle owner's a materialistic flake. Sometimes its better to hold your ire.
