My car got towed last night... FML.

I will post pics in a little bit...

I went to some friends of mine's apartment last night, and they forgot to tell me that I needed a guest parking pass... So when I go to leave at like 2am we see a tow truck chillin in the street. We run up to him, and as we're running, we pass the spot where my car used to be parked. He said he had towed it like an hour before that. I was like FML!!!!!!! He told me it was going to be $100. Great. So by this time it's like suuuper late and I asked if I could crash at their place and just get my car in the morning, so they said sure. So I just got home from getting it. No scratches or anything which is always good. It was parked right next to another G that had Eric's hood and a Kenstyle rear... it was in pretty bad shape. So pics to come later! All in all, it worked out fine, I was never mad or upset, it was just more of an annoyance than anything... $100 later I'm finally at home after 4 hours of sleep and the longest night ever!

Now I'm gonna get ready and go have lunch with my Orlando G peeps at PF Changs!

That sucks. I had a similar deal a few weeks ago but not my car but was a girl I am dating. Then she had no $$ so I ended up paying it anyway and it was $193 with "no change given" and I had $200 so thats what it cost.

Damn that sucks... That's really freaking expensive! And "no change given"? What kind of crap is that?!

The lady working this morning obviously hated her job... She wasn't rude, but she wasn't very helpful lol

Those companies jack cars as soon as it's possible...

That's how they make their money... Bastards.

dam i feel ya on this one. My car got towed from my homies apartment too but $100 is nothing compared to my fine. My was $250 and my other friend's car got towed also so i had to throw down $500 bills in cash to keep it on the DL. Parents still don't know about it to this day -_- haha

LOL I wanted to take the hood too, and gank the bumper and get it refinished... I was thinking about offering the unhappy union worker woman $100 cash and take whatever I wanted! Kind of like a pull-and-pay junk yard! haha
