Now I could of parked on spot back but that would mean that the next person would have to go through the hassle of parallel parking. So being a considerate person, I pulled forward into the spot that I had earlier in the morning.
An hour and half goes by and I go out to move my XJ and I have a 52 dollar ticket. The ticket says that I was parked there from 9:22 (says that the tires were marked, I didn't see any markings) till 12:45.
I went into the building and the manager of the place shows me the surveillance system that has a clear video of me leaving and coming back, with my XJ in full view of the camera when I returned. So I got a copy on CD and I got the receipt from the store across town so that I was there at 11:45. I figured that I would be able to win if I took it to court, but when I called to contest the ticket the women said that there was a rule stating that you could only use a parking spot for two hour once every calender day.
Has anyone one heard of this or had to deal with it? I will be getting the RPP as soon as I have a second piece of proof that I live here. Apparently a signed lease isn't enough.

Unfortunately that is over an hour from my house. Maybe I'll make my way up there at some point.

Could be worse. I just got my Welcome to Frederick when someone broke into my Jeep to steal my piece of **** MP3 player and a ****ing pack of gum. I may be in Josh's shoes soon, cause if I find out who did it, I'm gonna shoot him.

oh...well so far from what i can see from the city code, they are full of **** and I shouldn't of gotten a ticket. And I just noticed that the ticket states I was parked on the south side of the street, but the video shows me parking on the north side. So no matter what I should be good. glad i have two years of law studies under my belt, hopefully will be getting into law school next fall.
A friend of mine kept having his muscle car broken into. To fix the issue he mounted a kill switch under the door that allowed a direct feed from a high voltage coil to the doors. After using it for a couple weeks, no more break ins.

On a better note, I measured my leaf packs.
Eye to eye, straight: 49.5"
Eye to eye, around the bottom leaf: 53"
Ground to arch (upside down): 8"
5 leafs in each pack.
Also picking up my new headlights tomorrow from the post office.
