proving that investors should avoid running up the tab on collector cars, the recent barn find Alabama Daytona was over a 10,000 dollar loss to the guy who bought it out of the barn

Charlie Lyons found and bought it, for over 100,000 and it only sold for 10,000. Add the sales tax of about 10% that Charlie paid, and he certainly lost over $20,000 for thinking he had a gold mine when he really only found a rusty Dodge. And THAT is what over inflates the prices on collector cars.

Winter Storm Jonas left Washington D.C. with over 2 feet of snow, cementing cars in place— just giving the bureaucrats an perfect opportunity to hand out over $1 million in parking tickets, $65,600 in fines and 656 towed vehicles

The District announced that they will continue to ticket and tow abandoned or parked vehicles lining any snow emergency route.

"Don't park your car illegally, and that includes parking it kind of in the middle of the street next to the snow bank," said D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser.

Cars need to be 12 inches from the curb, not a snow mound, the mayor added.

Snow removal crews are aiming to plow streets from curb to curb, meaning any vehicles impeding their progress will be removed. Cars left in traffic lanes on any road are being deemed a road hazard and will be removed as well.

Violators of the parking bans are facing a $250 ticket, a $100 towing fee and will be charged $25-per-day until the vehicle is claimed.

And the District’s Department of Public Works also advises that you bring a shovel to the impound lot in order to dig your car out of the snow, says CBS DC.
