That reminded me of a similar thing I experienced. I used to drive a 69 Acadian in the 70's. The Acadian was the Canadian name for the Chevy II. I got parking tickets 5 days a week. I guess the guy had the weekend off. I got a ticket every week day. I still have a big bundle of them. I plan to paper one of my walls with them one day, but I digress. That car looked pretty beat up and that's because it was pretty beat up. I finally scrapped it and bought a 73 Chrysler T & C Wagon. It looked pretty nice and I parked it in the same place as the Acadian, on the same side street around the corner from my house, in Toronto. I stopped getting tickets. Damnedest thing I ever saw. I mentioned that to a couple of friends and they had similar experiences too.
