I think this somehow needs incorporated into a new Challenge award.
Hey, that boot was made in Grand Junction, CO. I wonder if Flyin' Miata sells any go fast parts for it.
I never understood the point of booting. If you want to free up parking then immobilizing the car seems counterproductive.

Now that's interesting. I had no idea. Since 1958! You never know where you're going to find a small business.
Go fast part for a Denver Boot: sawzall.

No shaved raccoons for this one?

It has nothing to do with freeing up parking; the boot is usually put on the most egregious of scofflaws who haven't paid their parking fines.
A boot crew can go out and boot several cars in far less time, and considerably less expense than sending out a tow truck for one vehicle.

Totally. We've had repeat offenders, and back in the day I would park our forklift behind the car and leave a note. Nowadays I just call a tow truck - tired of being yelled at.

This depends entirely on the municipality. The town in which I went to college had a huge hard on for using parking enforcement for revenue generation and would boot you for any outstanding balance that was even a day late.

If I had a car in the wrong place and a forklift...my solution would be different than yours.
