"I haz spare"

Did the anarchist suddenly turn into a cat?

[–]AlextheGerman 71 points72 points ago

Fuck you I'm a cat.

[–]WizardlySquid 48 points49 points ago

No Alex, your a German.

[–]IIAOPSW 39 points40 points ago

Grammar* You commie.

[–]McMan777 1 point2 points ago

Huh, well what do you know, I did. Well, I'm the one who's dyslexic so I don't have to follow your rules of perfection "lessonplan" or should I say "teacher". Look guys, a person of authority, get him!

[–]McMan777 2 points3 points ago

Don't tell us what to do, marxist!

Split personality?

[–]VectorCell 5 points6 points ago

On reddit, I would imagine you would have plenty of opportunities to use that.

[–]andstuffandstuff 3 points4 points ago

Fool! Cats can be German.

You're a true spelling anarchist!

Are you implying that cats can't be anarchists?

[–]Syn7axError 1 point2 points ago

I think he's implying that anarchists can't be cats.

Nobody tells me what I can and can't do

[–]RoyGaucho 52 points53 points ago

I thought those boots specifically covered your bolts so you can't get your wheel off

[–]Eurynom0s 40 points41 points ago

Yes, but--and I realize that this isn't relevant to the OP pic from the looks of things--they are held on by the pressure of your tire. If you deflate your tire first, then apparently they'll slide right off.

[–]RoyGaucho 14 points15 points ago

Wow I'll keep that in mind

[–]mavrick45 13 points14 points ago

plan on parking illegally a lot in the future?

[–]deyur 58 points59 points ago

This subreddit is all about parking illegally.

[–]Burtonken23 73 points74 points ago

Don't tell us what were about.

Don't tell him not to tell us what we're about.

[–]Telescopy 16 points17 points ago

Don't tell him how to use apostrophes.

Don't tell me these aren't the ultimate anarchists.

I'LL BE GRAMMATICALLY INCORRECT IF I WANT FASCIST

[–]tangled_foot 14 points15 points ago

They do.

[–]Add4164 0 points1 point ago

it's the anarchy power

[–]AstroZombie138 0 points1 point ago

They do, but the cheap ones don't cover them fully. When I was in high school my car got booted, and I had 3 out of the 6 lug nuts off my wheel plus the spare nearby when the school came up to say they would take the boot off my car. They had bought a really cheap one that didn't provide enough cover over the bolts.

[–]AntediluvianEmpire 17 points18 points ago

I'm curious what the cost of a wheel + tire would be vs just paying the tickets.

[–]Pomskey 31 points32 points ago

Less than the cost of the tow truck that would come pick it up.

[–]BowsNToes21 25 points26 points ago

The man probably had shit to do that day.

[–]MK_Ultrex 13 points14 points ago

Cost of sawing of the boot = 0. Give me 10 minutes and a couple of basic tools and I will destroy it. But I believe that they track those things, it's not that if you manage to get away you are no longer traceable/ have to pay the ticket.

[–]dankhimself 2 points3 points ago

I don't know about basic tools (like hand tools) , but a sawzall and a pack of metal blades would take care of it. That's probably 1/4 inch steel, so even the sawzall would melt a bunch of blades, unless you had some cutting oil. Even motor oil would help a ton.

[–]bossrabbit 0 points1 point ago

Grinder?

[–]dankhimself 1 point2 points ago

Grinders are great for sure, taking the rivet heads off and then smacking them out with a hammer if it has rivets. A sawzall is much faster through steel than a grinder, grinders are better when the sawzall would catch on stuff, the blades tend to "punch" what your cutting or something near it if you aren't careful and it can get away from you. Battery powered sawzalls, well reciprocating saws rather(I'm a Milwaukee saw fan), are so great now you can basically use one to steal anything. I mean, to uh, get a boot off of your car... I was popping rivets from my truck's frame in under a minute but slicing the rivet head off with a sawzall, switching to a grinder to clean the leftover rivet head, and switching finally to an air hammer and sending it home. The saw is fastest, the grinder is the neater of the two though.

[–]CCCPironCurtain 11 points12 points ago

Considering they also charge for stolen boots...

[–]yParticle 3 points4 points ago

Carefully extract boot with proper tools. Leave boot in place on street and drive away.

[–]CCCPironCurtain 3 points4 points ago

[–]pearl36 5 points6 points ago

You can buy a whole new set of wheels for how much they charge for towing over there. It's privatized and ridiculous.

[–]Burtonken23 0 points1 point ago

I'm throwing that bitch in the trunk and taking all my cutting tools to it at home.

[–]Asassinsneed 0 points1 point ago

No, you take the wheel and disassemble it at home.

[–]iEATu23 0 points1 point ago

Nothing, if it had to be replaced anyway.

[–]JoesShittyOs 22 points23 points ago

Ah... Seeing how I have to go to court for a bullshit speeding ticket, this picture makes me very happy

[–]nr1212 11 points12 points ago

How fast did you speed?

[–]Kurai699 83 points84 points ago

Not fast enough

[–]cacher371 9 points10 points ago

Only 30 over, I don't see what the problem was

[–]xsibleyx08 2 points3 points ago

Thirty over would be automatic jailtime here

You Haz Spare... But Tha Police Haz Your Registration Number.

[–]notmynothername 18 points19 points ago

Then what the fuck is the clamp for? I understand towing a car because it's somewhere it shouldn't be, but this just keeps it there longer.

[–]eedna 0 points1 point ago

Boots are more for unpaid parking tickets than parking illegally

[–]Godzillionaire 39 points40 points ago

The lolcats speak at the end kind of ruins this image.

[–]shigal777 5 points6 points ago

It would be much better without any captions.

I'm up voting you because fuck disapproving redditors

[–]MrUmibozu 2 points3 points ago

I'll disapprove whatever the fuck I like, motherfucker.

[–]Iam_Thesame 7 points8 points ago

That is..that is actually quiet clever. Only if you don't live in that country because they obviously have noted down your license plate number.

[–]pearl36 7 points8 points ago

My dad did that once, also in Romania, same as the OP's pic. But what he did was, he got booted, then he went home, grabbed his Makita cordless grinder, cut that shit in half, drove off, left it there. The cops after that got passed off and tried to bill my dad for 1000€,but he just ignored every single thing they said, I thought they were gonna arrest him, but they just dropped the charges after a year lol.

oh, and yeah, it's worth it to lose a wheel than to pay the fine and towing etc., in Romania its all privatized companies who lift cars so they lift everything and anything to make money, they charge around 1200ron for the whole process,... To put it in perspective, it's about 400$,or 50$ MORE than the average monthly wage in Romania, fuck those guys.

[–]mrcharizard88 4 points5 points ago

Or you could just do what Homer did http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvQaFSklu0A

[–]Mmarketting 11 points12 points ago

My dad once took a hacksaw to one of these clamps, and left the parts of the clamp where he was parked. Hilarious.

[–]Polemicist82 3 points4 points ago

This is actual anarchism. Good job.

[–]MeleeCyrus 6 points7 points ago

The first time that the saying "Fuck the Police" is actually true.

[–]pearl36 5 points6 points ago

ROMANIA FTW yeeeeahhh!

[–]tree_bear 14 points15 points ago

This isn't "first world anarchy." First world anarchy is supposed to be a joke, much like first world problems. This is legitimate civil disobedience, a.k.a. actually breaking the law.

[–]Skateboard_Raptor 100 points101 points ago

Don't tell us what to post here!

[–]tree_bear 31 points32 points ago

That's the spirit!

[–]VectorCell 7 points8 points ago

Don't tell him what not to tell you!

[–]aGorilla 6 points7 points ago

Don't tell him what not to tell him to tell him what not to post...

Fuck it, we'll do it live!

[–]Torgamous 3 points4 points ago

Well, I'll do it dead!

[–]aGorilla 1 point2 points ago

I admire your commitment!

[–]Torgamous 3 points4 points ago

I don't need your approval!

[–]aGorilla 2 points3 points ago

You have a valid point, on that note, fuck you!

[–]Torgamous 2 points3 points ago

Parking violations aren't real laws.

[–]CHR1110 3 points4 points ago

I drive a Jeep with 33" tires on it. Boots do not apply to me.

[–]sargassum 0 points1 point ago

Wrangler or Cherokee? Does it fit them w/o a lift?

Not related to the topic at hand, just curious.

[–]CHR1110 0 points1 point ago

Wrangler TJ, and yes, it'll just barely fit them without a lift, expect them to rub on the wheel wells and front bumper a bit when you've got the wheel cranked though. Also, for more Jeep-related stuff, I highly recommend hopping over to /r/jeep!

[–]cemper 5 points6 points ago

I don't get it. Someone care to explain?

[–]WhyArentYouNMyOffice 10 points11 points ago

ಠ_ಠ

[–]pokepat460 0 points1 point ago

The guy got a boot on his car, probably for a ticket or parking illegally. Boots cover the tire and usually the bolts, so you can't drive or remove the tire. But you can deflate the tire and reduce the pressure that the boot clamps onto your tire and remove it, then remove the tire and replace with a spare to get it re-inflated later.

[–]Pinyaka 3 points4 points ago

[–]acousticmtl 1 point2 points ago

But dude put the other in the trunk right now!

[–]weasel707 0 points1 point ago

License plate ID: probably Ukraine.

[–]strothgar 0 points1 point ago

Thankfully it wasn't a HOA or he'd have to rely on the services of BOOTMAN!

[–]shadowray 0 points1 point ago

( Price of tire ) + ( Price of rim ) > ( Cost of ticket fee )

[–]pokepat460 0 points1 point ago

I don't think the tire and rim would be damaged, would they? I thought he just deflated the tire to reduce the pressure of the boot to get to the bolts, and swap out for a spare tire. Can't he just re-inflate the tire he removed and use it again later?

[–]pokepat460 0 points1 point ago

Is this a good idea? Idk much about parking laws or boots, but I would imagine that when they boot a car, they take down information like make model and plate number.
