Fire hydrant ticket was my first ticket when I first started driving. Apparently it's 15ft in NYC. I was more than 10ft away from it but of course the city wanted the tax moneyMy brother sent me this. He saw it happen from his apartment window. This dude was parallel parking & backed up straight into the hydrant

Since you're in the design field, can/do companies patent/trademark designs?
There was a point in time when Pontiacs had kidney grills similar to BMWs
I hit something the same way no regrets
Bronco Raptor
LFG
Got this a few days ago.. 2022 Bronco Big Bend in the Area 51 color w/the hardtop. Got the windows ceramic tinted yesterday, now needs a new sound system because the factory one is 🗑 gonna go through these tires first before throwing some off-road ones on.
Thank you for your grace, my Brother.
That dude is an absolute moron! All them signs he had to not take the car out and he STILL risked it. Hope my guy from Autotopia LA sues him for every last penny. F the driver, dude was irresponsible af.Between that and the 1300 WHP clown that could've killed someonelike that should just stick to public transportation and leave moving vehicles to more responsible people.
That's totally understandable & not your fault. These beauties out there got weapons of mass distraction so it's easy to lose focus
Short answer: no.

sue him for what?

what was the desingers name if u don't mind me askingShort answer: no.
Nerdy car designer POV:
Pontiacs and BMWs front end graphic came from the same ‘neighborhood’ after a natural design progression. The Pontiac grill was based off two colliding arrowheads (Pontiac and other American companies appropriated Indigenous folks tools and used them for design inspiration) terminating at the middle of the car.
1960s Pontiac
If anything Pontiac was looking at Studebaker for design inspiration; German cars weren’t in US automakers wheelhouse as American design was dominant during that era.
Studebaker for reference: (1950s)
While BMW adapted the twin grill for aerodynamic purposes in the 1930s, most agree that the 1960s BMW roadster defined the graphic before it’s latest gestation back to the original vertically longer design (new BMW 3)
And the designer who penned this worked for Studebaker in the 1950s
Albrecht Goertz.
Darn! You're right. He did willingly get in it knowing all that so guess no law suit. Lol, yes the views most definitely came rolling insue him for what?
dude willing got in the car, he accepted liability, hisonline persona is of an automotive expert he saw all the signs but wanted the views
Thank you! Ahhh you’re bouta have a blast with the Raptor for sure. Def post a pic of it when it arrives!
Me too! Heard people say it’s pretty much a Ford Wrangler lol but idk these just look better imo and they’re a tad bigger. I actually didn’t wait at all, local dealer had it on the lot. They were surprised it was sitting for the last few weeks so after about a day of back and forth with them I got it for about a $6k markup
would’ve preferred not to pay a markup but it is what it is lol.
Yup 15 ft...but you know how that goes. City always looking to take our hard-earned $. How much was the ticket? My 1st ticket ever was literally the day I registered my Maxima. Drove to the DMV with fake platesFire hydrant ticket was my first ticket when I first started driving. Apparently it's 15ft in NYC.

, registered car at the DMV & got my real plates.
Oh they wanted $15k markup originally. That I was not gonna do at all. Had gotten rid of my other car that morning and made a few G’s off it so It went towards that. Helped alleviate some of the pain of that bs.
It was in the upper 200s range. Been so long.Yup 15 ft...but you know how that goes. City always looking to take our hard-earned $. How much was the ticket? My 1st ticket ever was literally the day I registered my Maxima. Drove to the DMV with fake plates
Then drove to Steinway for hookah & grub. I noticed my front plate wasn't sitting right & fell off so I left it on the dashboard. Came out the lounge a while later & a bright orange envelope was sitting on the windshield for "improperly placed license plate".
It was $65 I think but my bro fought it in their ticket office at Sutphin Blvd & won the dispute. I rewarded him $20, lol.
Goddamn! Lol
