Sad Commander... :-(

[The_War_Wagon]

I snapped a pic of this sad sack - ILLEGALLY parked (hence the red ticket under the wiper arm) - that's already had the poop knocked out of it. My crappy phone pic doesn't do it justice.

The bumper area on the driver's side is REALLY torn up. Looks like someone scraped it against a city bus or some such. In fact, leaving my barber shop, I saw a city bus almost hit it trying to make a turn, BECAUSE it's illegally parked.


Reminds me of the old John Hiatt tune - Perfectly Good Guitar.

There oughta be a law, with no bail
Smash a Commander and you go to jail
With no chance, for early parole
You drive a Compass 'til you get some soul...

Ha ha, I love your lyrics.

I wonder how much longer it stayed there until it was impounded?

I hit the barber shop just right - NO ONE in there when I went in, so I jumped in the chair & got served right away. It wasn't there BEFORE I went in - it was there - WITH a ticket - when I came out.

The Pittsburgh Port Authority doesn't mess around - I'm sure that DRIVER called it in, when he had to struggle to get around it. Maybe I can scavenge it at a junkyard next week!

Where was it in Pittsburgh? I lived there for 4 years and still have family there.

That was on the corner of Bower Hill Rd. & Rt.19 in Mt. Lebanon (South Hills).
