Tell me about it. I am totally convinced that if my wife was going slower, the post would not have snapped it it would have completely messed up the roof instead of the wave it has now and a few nutserts

I think I might be upset about this.

I cannot break this code

BHMCruiser = Atticus. He used to bite, and hard. Woody runs this forum (I hope you know that much). BHM got caught up in a mass banning (what, 9 months ago now?) and got the boot for no particularly good reason, IMHO. His replacement Mud persona is like a caged wolverine, only fatter. Sedated. It's just cruel. Cultivating a good sense of humor on Mud would allow you to see him for what he is.

All teed up for the next post...

Im no lawyer just trying t help

i doubt there are any statutory rules of the road in california that apply to avoiding overhead obstacles on private property.

the parking garage owner has a duty of care to provide adequate signage to warn of any unexpected hazard in the garage. the duty is commensurate with the extent of the hazard and the extent to which it departs from a driver's normal expectationst. a change in clearance height inside a parking garage would qualify for such a duty and would probably impose a fairly rigorous obligation to take care to bring it to the attention of a driver. if the owner put a small sign in a place that could foreseeably be blocked by a vehicle, even if it was illegally parked, they likely breached that duty of care if there was a better place they could have put the sign.

so, get some photos of the sign location, park a minivan there, then take the owner to small claims court. unless state law requires you to join joint tortfeasors in a lawsuit, let the owner bring the illegally parked car into the lawsuit. on these facts, unless state law says otherwise, the parking lot owner will be jointly liable with any liability of the illegally parked car and you can collect 100% from him. so you don't need to bother tracking down and suing the owner, unless you were contributorily negligent, which generally severs that joint liability.

i doubt the driver of the damaged vehicle would get any contributory negligence award against them here. It is difficult to visually judge the overhead height in a parking garage from inside a moving car and a driver has a reasonable expectation that he will be warned of a change in height and so need not take any special precautions.

the illegally parked driver breached a contractual duty with the parking garage not to park illegally but that doesn't automatically mean he is liable for the blocked sign. depending on the terms of that contract, which are probably posted on the wall of the garage or on the back of the parking ticket, and depending on how favourably state law treats those kind of sneaky standard form contracts, he or she may have a contractual duty to indemnify the parking garage for the damage.

if the contract does not cover it then i think it is 50/50 whether the illegally parked driver would be held liable in negligence either to the parking garage or the driver of the damaged vehicle. ordinarily parking in an illegal spot does not have consequences for other drivers, so in this case, before you could impose a duty of care on that driver, you would have to prove that the damage that was suffered from the blocked sign was a reasonably foreseeable consequence of parking in the forbidden area. that might be hard to prove.

this is, of course, all subject to any local statutory law modifying the common law in respect of occupier's liability, negligence or other tort reform.

I've only recently delved into chat. You know normally the rants are pretty funny but they stop being funny when they just turn stupid. Oh well. That was yesterday, this is today.

Something similar happened to me when I was driving a state van in Utah when I entered a parking terrace.

I was fine on the first level, but as I ascended up to the 2nd level I noticed the ceiling getting closer and closer to me until it finally went squish. Good thing I was driving like a granny.

BTW, that was the 2nd time I screwed up driving one of their vehicles. I already wasn't a good driver then.

BTW, I didn't read through all of these pages.

Eh yo Romero.

Far as I'm concerned, yer old lady did you a huge favor. Better to have that thing ripped off in a low-speed ruckus than with two kayaks on the freeway. You may have noticed that one night we met at the gas station, that I didn't have a factory rack. I had one up until a couple months ago. I figured that, since the rack said "100 lbs. capacity" on it, it could easily handle a couple of 30 lb. surfboards. What I understood was that two 30 lb. surfboards would create 60 lbs. of downward force on the rack when the truck was static. What I did not take into account was that two 11'+ longboards, with the tails directly over the windshield, would create much more upward pressure, effectively creating a visor-like air catch above the sunroof. The four front nutserts are not equipped to handle the God-only-knows how many lbs. of upward force that have been subjected to them after 3 1/2 years of multiple longboard transport.

So, driving up the 101 Freeway, when I heard an ungodly flapping coming from the roof, I pulled over. Thankfully, one front nutsert and the four rears came to the rescue (they gave their all, they surely did, and that was obvious when they were removed--just tweaked to death but holding), or I would have lost two surfboards and the roof rack on the freeway, and Lord knows what might have happened to the people behind me. It could have been an awful mess. Thanks, Toyota, for making a product that could stand up to years of my thoughtless stupidity!

So, kiss your wife on the cheek, say "Thanks honey", get it painted (who gives a shit what it looks like, Wilt Chamberlain is dead), and get that Inti Rack you have been drooling over on Henry's website.

Hell, maybe you can guilt-trip Mama into writin' you a little check! I know I would!

PS--It is your wife that is the liar. Nice story with the parking structure, but you and I both know in our hearts that the roof rack was ripped off while she was having a mad roof-top tryst with her Sumo instructor, Debuchinpo-san.

[NLXTACY]

hehe, yeah I'm looking it as an opportunity

Henry's website??

I've never seen it happen but my wife drives PCH twice a day 5/6/7 days a week. She said she has seen a few surfboard close calls

Yeah, Henry (Exiled) had a 60, with an Inti rack on his website (maybe it was a thread, I dunno)...

In any case, I meant Alvaro (La Cabra)'s website, not Henry's. They're both Latin American, so I got them mixed up.

Oh look, here's a pic of Henry's old 60.

[NLXTACY]

Yeah I've talked to Alvaro at SnT...he said to talk to Hugo Chavez :P

[FJason80]

As much as I want my INTI rack, I wouldn't mess with Hugo...

[96Cruiser13]

haha atticus is a douche. He freaked out cause you said it was 20 bucks to park. Ever heard of exaggerating to make a good story? Its not like it was even relative to your problem...
For the record, i hope your roof gets better

i hate lawyers

Wait, what were we talking about again?

[landcruisers4ever]

hmm this is/was tech but its started in chat, usually works out the other way. I hope you get your roof sorted out NLXTACY, sorry that happened to you.

Well I posted it really to point out my bad luck. I wasn't going to do a tech thread until I started doing the repair...which I did:

here's the thing....thread titles that are misleading as to the content should have some kind of red light flashing next to them cause otherwise I miss all the good stuff.

You have no way to deal with your life and the scum that you have to deal with (or not deal with because you are here so often its tough to see you have much of a case load which of course brings into question your actual ability in your chosen profession).

So you deal with nefarious individuals and you've honed in your skills and can tell that everything I say and do is one big lie. Normally I laugh and shrug it off to your stupidity and need to feel like you want to be involved with my life so you give a crack at stupid comments to feel like you are part of it. My life MUST be more interesting than yours because you seem to comment on it so much more than your own.

I feel for you. I do. One day you will find happiness in your own life instead of living vicariously through others, including myself. Until then enjoy and comment away because it makes you feel better to get the last word in.

I think you might have shut ANALKISS up for good.
