Default Borrowed a Porsche Turbo...

Can the ride be any better than my Z? It better be if spending over $100,000.

Well anyways, I parked the porsche at work and the owner comes back to me with a parking ticket. $35...what a big deal just pay the damn thing. This person makes over $1.5 million a year and he can't pay the ticket. He says that the permit fell on the floor (which it actually did) and the police didn't see it so he shouldn't have to pay for it. He wants me to write a letter but I'm too busy at work.

Can anyone help me with a letter? A draft of something would be fine.

He doesn't want me to pay for it nor does he want to pay for it either. He says it's not my fault that the parking permit fell.

Is this a joke, are you seriously asking us to write a letter for you? We've all got our own busy jobs as well. Try busy season at Ernst & Young with corporate deadlines.

Just thought if there was anyone bored out of their mind. I'm counseling students at Stanford. Maybe I should ask one of them. Hehehe.

What does it matter how much the guy makes. He was nice enough to let you borrow his porsche, and you are the one that parked it. Regardless if the parking pass fell, it happened on your watch, so you should deal with it.

If the owner wrote the letter what would it say "uh, i let someone borrow the car, and he didn't take the time to make sure the permit was securely attached, so uh, cancel the ticket."

what a joke

write a letter that shows the permit is valid prior to and after the date of the ticket. Tell them the permit was covered by a piece of paper or something and therefore the officer didnt' see it. As long as the permit is valid (i.e. you're paying your dues on time, etc) they should waive the ticket.

Why did he let you borrow his car in the first place? And what does the owner do to make that much money?

I asked to trade for a day since we park next to each other. I was only joking but he also wanted to drive my car. What a nice guy! He's a heart and lung surgeon. I wonder if he let me because I'm a female.

I don't think any of us cares to see a pic of the car, since we all know how a Z looks like. Show us a pic of you!!

Didn't notice the sig (which I assume got changed). I was like "what guy would ask if someone would write their ticket letter?"
