you and this guy...

must be the toyota look of the 2nd Gen G35/37 ....i kid i kid

on a serious note, and IMHO, they lost the "infiniti/nissan look" with the 2nd Gen models in which most will agree with me(i think). If you blink, you can mistakenly think they're toyotas. With the 1st Gen sedans/coupes, even with a quick glance...right off the bat, it's an infiniti and no other brand/model out there can be mistaken for it. Again, just my opinion....maybe it's the sleeker headlights?

lets just do a comparison between my car and a corolla





can anyone spot which is the infiniti and which is the toyota?????!!!!!

lol, nice. that tells you the quality of meter maids we are dealing with these days. you'd' think they would have an eye for cars - after all they spend all day looking at them.

i doubt the wrong vehicle make is enough to get the ticket thrown out. if the license plate is correct that should make it enforceable.

Worth fighting depending on what your time is worth. Unless you were parked in front of a fire hydrant... in which case I'm am morally bound to insist that you pay the fine

You should never feel insulted by someone else's ignorance. It was a dumb mistake mad by someone who likely doesn't give a damn about their job.
