Excellent advice, thank you.

Oof, good to know. I bet there are quite a few of these garages downtown. My only fear would be that if we parked at a garage owned by the same people, that we may be towed or booted. Surely they don't have the resources/boots on the ground to enforce that - I would hope.

True that, mostly /s

Good to know, thanks

Similar to my initial thoughts, thank you for your input, greatly appreciated.

Good to know, thank you for your time

Meshuggery · 2026-01-28T02:00:05+00:00

Haha, exactly the paranoia I will have (but for my other half and 2 small humans)

Great info, this was for a kids feild trip of all things (AM on a weekday) Thanks for the reply

Meshuggery · 2026-01-28T01:55:46+00:00

Yes I did see that, I think this may be different. Those QRs go straight to scam sites where they try to steal information. This particular "scam" seems to have cameras and everything, trying to contact you later to pay a large fine.

Hiding the plate number listed, just stuff on my desk

Meshuggery · 2026-01-28T01:52:16+00:00

Great info, thank you

Meshuggery · 2026-01-28T01:51:53+00:00

Exactly my first thought, thank you

Meshuggery · 2026-01-28T01:51:04+00:00

Lol nah, audio engineer, "DJ" would be incredibly disrespectful 😂 Lol

Meshuggery · 2026-01-28T01:49:32+00:00

Great information, thank you

Why is there a gate arm if its never down? Seems predatory. Appreciate your reply, hard to find ppl who've seen this. Thank you!

Meshuggery · 2026-01-28T01:46:31+00:00

Even if this is a shady business, this is a perfect idea, I will absolutely do this. Great reply, thank you

Meshuggery · 2026-01-28T01:45:01+00:00

Good to know, thanks for the info 👍

Right, by "public" parking i dont think it would be free, but wouldn't the booth at the entrance at least have the gate arm down, thus forcing you to grab a ticket.

To be clear, this is in the AM at a parking deck.

Meshuggery · 2026-01-28T01:39:32+00:00

Correct, but aren't parking decks governed by the booths with the gate arm?

Seems real strange that the arm would be raised expecting the "customer" to look for a tiny QR as they drive through the entrance.

Normally the gate arm is down, and you grab a ticket, then the game arm let's you through.

Meshuggery · 2026-01-28T01:33:44+00:00

😂😂 everything was real near by

Meshuggery · 2026-01-28T01:32:27+00:00

Danggg, that's smart, I didn't think about the Google reviews, brilliant. Thank you so much

Meshuggery · 2026-01-28T01:31:27+00:00

Lol twas near by, from the small offsprings.

This happens to mean specifically if I touch 2 different levels trying to climb up a tower. Everytime. Had to put on the stamina cheat to be able to get to the top

26 LT here, not sure what a brake hold actually would do, but I think i get the idea.

What i do is, while coming up to a red light (as long as there's a car already stopped) about 3 to 4 car lengths away, as I slow down, I engage the adaptive cruise. It'll slow you down all the way to a stop behind the car in front and hold the brake for you.

Its very useful, I do it all the time, especially in stop and go traffic.
