This car has made the city nearly $10,000

Steven shared this photo the other day from First Avenue at Ninth Street... we were like, Can't imagine why the driver got a ticket for parking like this, haha.

Perhaps the car broke down or ran out of gas?

Anyway, we looked up the plate using public records. 

Apparently, parking is problematic for the driver, to the tune of nearly $10,000. 

Public records show 107 violations dating back to 2024 — two for bus lane violations, 100 for parking and five for speeding. The violations have mostly occurred in Manhattan, though a few have happened in Brooklyn and Queens. 

All this has led the driver to pay $9,816.45 in fines, with another $505 outstanding. 

At this point, it's less a parking problem and more a lifestyle.

    All this in only 2 years! Addicted to bad parking and throwing money away.

    It’s probably cheaper than parking in a lot.

    In a world where cars all look the same. Whoever this is at least gets a nod for a 'good' looking vehicle, the classic smoker window guards, the hood intake for obvious turbo activities, a rack for carrying large sacks of stuff that might smell up the vehicle, large wipers for city donation 'flyers'. I'm a fan! Keep paying friend!

    It says paid. They don't care if you pay. Over 29 months that's only $355 per month. 20% cheaper than a lot.

    Man, I didn't check on my car for five days last week and when I got back it had gotten three tickets and TOWED. This guy's got the luck of the Irish.
