Another plus on driving a Jeep. Just loosen some bolts and fold the windshield down.

Years ago when we were expanding Bryant Denny, I was eating lunch at Ramma Jammas and saw the UA parking police put a boot on one of the construction contractor trucks. It was parked inside the barricade (as I would assume it was allowed to do). The workers came out saw the boot, and just uncoiled the hoses and used their torch to cut it off. Then they threw it in the dumpster.

That undoubtably costed millions to develop and implement.

I don't even know if that shite would fit on my jeep windshield.

While in Brooklyn recently I saw this guy walk out of his apartment and take the boot off of his vehicle, and put it in his trunk. I'm not sure if he put the boot on to prevent his car from being stolen, or because he wanted to fool the parking police, but it was pretty awesome.

I'm sure meter maids and city workers are extremely careful when reaching across your hood to install that. I'm sure they are extremely cautious not to bump or scratch your vehicle in any way.

Maybe, but we could always lay the windshield down on the hood bumpers and roll.
