Default Curious question

I know we never leave our vette out on the street too long, but has anyone here got their car booted? I know when I was living in Chitown, my Typhoon was ticketed and towed a few times during my bar hopping days.

nope, I doubt anyone on here with a corvette leaves it parked on the curb. Maybe someone has but they wouldn't be on the forum. Most people here are corvette enthusiast and barely drive the car in the rain.

No, but I used to have a 300ZX....and in my "bar hopping days" both windows got smashed and my after-market stereo was stolen and dash F#%@d up. I replaced all of the above and then my "new" aftermarket stereo (better than the first) got stolen (with the driver side window smashed) at a local Country Club (supposedly a "nice" one) while I was playing golf. That's why I'm sticking with stock radio from here on out...(or for awhile). Oh yeah, back on subject - nope, I've never experienced the BOOT

I leave it on the curb all the time. My vette is street parked too. I know I know ... But I bought it to drive it and unfortunately I don't have a garage

Never had that happen to my car, regardless of which one I was driving.
