I was ticketed for $108 and hour later, while looking for a shop. First estimate $300 part and $400 labor. Second estimate $200 labor with my part, but doing it a week later. Third estimate $240 mobile service the next day, but never showed, My brother will bring me tools to work on it today.

While waiting, there is a meter maid across the street. Good, a chance to vent my frustration on her.

I: Why am I being ticketed for being in an accident.
S: I don\'t know. It\'s not my area here. I am just on-break.
I: Now tell me your opinion why I should be ticketed.
S: May I see the ticket
I: Yes, here
S: Someone complained of blocking the side-walk
I: Who? What? Accident blocking 10% of the side-walk.
Homeless camp block whole side-walk all the time.
S: I don\'t know. Nothing I can do or tell you.
I: I just want your opinion on it.
S: I don\'t know. You can contest it.
I: OK, give me ID of person who complained.
S: I don\'t know. You have to contest it.
I: I should have the right to confront my accuser.
If blocking 10% of the side-walk is so important,
we should discuss it in court.
S: She closed her window. (ruined her break)

An hour later. Another meter maid ticketing other side of street.
I repeat the same frustration on her.
why are you bothering her? she can\'t do anything about it and her opinion doesn\'t change anything
I know. Just want to vent on meter maids. Taking it is part of their job.
It is very clear that you are doing your best to be an asshole. It is not their job to put up with your shit. Keep doing it and eventually you will end up with a much bigger infraction.

OK, tell me why having an accident and end up having one back wheel on the side-walk is an infraction. Why law did I break?

If it was in the UK and the police wanted to push it then parking your
car on the pavement (US speak sidewalk). Funnily enough when parked on
the pavement (US sidewalk) in the UK only a police officer can deal with
it. The penalties are therefore higher than for mere parking fines.

If you did that in Belgium chances are that it would be towed away and
impounded by the police at a compound within 4 hours.

They have a very efficient abandoned/badly parked car removal service.
(about the only policing thing they do well)

I can fix it in 4 hours next time. I just have to keep another set of control arms and all the tools in the car. With weak arms, I am sure it\'s going to happen again. It was more than 30 years ago last time I replaced an arm.

It took me several days to look for service:
Plan A: $300 part + $400 labour
Plan B: $200 labour, but doing it one week later
Plan C: $240 labour, but never show up
Plan D: DIY
Had to replace the arm, but I can probably duct tape the CV boot, until I can get to real service.

1 ticket an hour later and towed 50 miles to San Jose. I was away looking for service. If I stay working on it, probably won\'t be ticketed.

If it was in the UK and the police wanted to push it then parking your
car on the pavement (US speak sidewalk). Funnily enough when parked on
the pavement (US sidewalk) in the UK only a police officer can deal with
it. The penalties are therefore higher than for mere parking fines.

If you did that in Belgium chances are that it would be towed away and
impounded by the police at a compound within 4 hours.

I can fix it in 4 hours next time. I just have to keep another set of control arms and all the tools in the car. With weak arms, I am sure it\'s going to happen again. It was more than 30 years ago last time I replaced an arm.

You have to wonder how many random spare car parts he drives around with
and whether there is any space remaining for passengers or luggage!

There are spare batteries in the back seat. Tools and parts in the trunk. Front passenger seat is available. My 300 pound batteries are the back passengers. In fact, to protect my passengers, their is a wood panel lock across the back doors. Even if they break my windows (it happened), they can\'t take my passengers.

To save space and weight (a little bit), I can integrate the control arms into the panel lock.

you think there was any space left with all the sketchy wiring and junk batteries?

Tools do not take up too much space, but weight. And they can be dual functions. I can mount the 3/8 breaker bar on the control arm to prevent it from bending.

Do you have any photos of this weird contraption? It is sounding more

I would, if it\'s in North San Jose, where I can reach from Bart or Caltrain.. But it\'s south end of the city and hard to get to.

Perhaps I should leave it at Fremont Bart (30 miles away, $105 per month, rather than $108 per hour). Charging is not free but reasonable (13 cents per KWhr).

But i still need it for grocery shopping.

The word you are looking for here is \"bent\". \"bended\" is not correct

OK, the bended arm was bent from side-way momentum.

The doubler (192V to 384V) switch is not shown.

BTW, these are recycled 12V ventilator batteries in recycled ocean-spray bottles. Four 24V power relays in recycled mix-nut box in the middle, driven by a 12V to 24V inverter. All housed in a recycled milk crate.
