Holy crap on a stick!
:eek:
Oh, and if you drive a truck:
:: hold me ::

Last year it was about $160 in Baltimore City.
For Chicago :
Towing and storage charges must be paid either in cash or by VISA, MasterCard, Discover, American Express or Diner’s Club. Checks or money orders are not accepted.
Pursuant to the Municipal Code of Chicago (9-92-080 M.C.C.), such charges are as follows:
Towing: $150 for vehicles under 8,000 pounds, $250 for vehicles with a gross weight of 8,000 pounds or more.
Storage: $10 per day for the first 5 days then $35 per day every day after the 5th day for vehicles under 8,000 pounds, $60 per day for the first 5 days then $100 per day every day after the 5th day for vehicles with a gross weight of 8,000 pounds or more.
So $160, I guess, if they throw in a storage fee for the one day if you pick it up right away. I assume that they do. Thankfully, I’ve never had to deal with it. I’ve gotten my share of $50 street cleaning tickets, though…
Another great example of government sanctioned ass-raping.
