   A totalled car was just delivered to the auto rental place where I got the Model 3 😰

     This explains why they seemed confused when I came in and said that the Tesla had been towed overnight 😂

     Last night I left the Tesla parked just behind this sign, and in the morning it was gone.

     I've already found where it was towed and they said it will cost me $370 🤬

     @codewiz If you park in front of their building, would you be towed?

     @yojimbo Yeah, you'd be towed 10 feet... and then get billed $370 😂

     I paid through a hole in the wall with darkened reinforced glass, and after a while the gate opened... the car was undamaged and so I could return it.

     The rental place kindly weaved the late return fees... they knew I already had enough of a bad weekend 😅

     @benoit I parked under this sign, but I was at 90 degrees from it... and it was already surrounded by cars so I thought it was the safest spot!

     And another one... These "muscle cars" are just big engines for drivers with small brains who wouldn't even take the time to learn the stick shift.

     Bah. Today's electric cars easily outperform these fossils in everything other than noise and emissions. Rooooar! 🦖

     @codewiz Even if they'd get sth. like an Audi e-Tron GT or Porsche Taycan they still disable all assistance system (they're Mr. big balls after all who can drift so cool) and then blame it on the cars if they total it.
