This is a whine: Building management says I have to move my car out of the garage before 7 am so they can powerwash. - loosilu Sep 12, 22:02 23
- IN Aus they would just tow the car round the corner, taking it to the depot is a waste of time -- nm - Karl_S Sep 12, 23:10 1
  - They make money when they tow it so I am sure they would be happy to take it to the lot. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Sep 12, 23:19

    - they are towing. -- nm - loosilu Sep 12, 22:23

        good. this is a situation not to ignore. -- nm - peglegpete Sep 12, 22:33 1
        
        I can ignore it, but it'll cost me $100 and a cab ride to get my car back. -- nm - loosilu Sep 12, 22:35
      - good thing the indiana methbillies don't roll out of bed before noon then -- nm - moles Sep 12, 22:10
