How would you prevent towing?
I was forced to park my RX7 in an empty houses driveway (live in the townhomes...)anyway they tow the **** out of any car wrongfully parked and charge like 400$. its a possibility for me so how would you try to stop them. i got the e- brake way up and want a more promising technique(sp?) thanks for any input

E-brake will do nothing anyways if it gets towed they will pick it up from the rear anyways. There is really nothing you can do to stop a determined tow company. Ive hauled a few cars back when I worked another job, and if they are serious about making some cash they will get it out anyway possible. Hell i had some ******* pulled his rims off to so i threw 2 spares on it and hauled it away.

It's true, there's not much that you can do to stop a car from being towed even if all 4 wheels are locked in gear or have a brake on - a dolly is an easy way to just lift and go.
I had a similar situation, and my advice is to just talk to your neighbors. You'll likely find there is someone with a "spare" spot that will give you permission to park your car in their spot temporarily.

Look into your local laws and city ordinances, play the GAME sun! Usually the law are like........example; vehicle can't remain parked in spot without moving for ......24hrs, 48hrs,72hrs...or something like that! Know the law and move it when you have to. I have played that game lots! still do actually!

for me if its in a driveway and you put a car cover on it then they can't tow it away.
not sure if your laws are similar or not.
but look into as stated before.

Well the way i do it........is i parked so that if the tow does get me, it picks me up from the back and then i lock my steering wheel :P so it will always go sideways unless they have a flat bed witch is rare because it takes longer to for them to get the car
