YOU RULE, Angle-Grinder Man! If only a hero would rise here in our fair city of Chicago to remove the scourge of clamps ("boots" here in the U.S.)! In this city, it is not private firms who immobilize our cars in poorly-marked "no-parking" zones, but rather, the city's own Department of Revenue. Kind of gives away their motives, doesn't it?
Rock on, AGM! You are a true working-class hero!
