Re: the desk officer didn't seem to care very much...grumbling his words and whatnot. I just rolled
Without painted lines its hard to tell where you can park without blocking in their showroom cars. Maybe they towed 2 cars, or in fact your car was smack dab in the middle (to avoid door dings to ur audi, I would do the same parking job) but they are ****** to not mark it with a sign or be more accomdating. If they cared, they don't, they could have towed you onto their own lot maybe? (Not sure u would find it then)

there were faint lines on the ground...worn out. They are ****** for not having signs up but having
a meter there marks it as a legal spot for people to park at. If they don't want people parking there or mistaking it for a spot, remove the meter or place a sign.

Bummer man. I lived right near there and had to find meters every night for a year and a half.....
....the locals know EVERY spot that might let you get away without moving the car at 8am. Your best bet, even thought it takes some time, is to loop up and down the strip of Comm ave. from Tonic to Herb Chambers until you can get a spot someone is leaving from.
It's a bitch around there. I can recall asking friends for rides to work if I got one of the cherished headless meter spots.

Before you blow a gasket, I recommend speaking with them calmly.
I know the exact area that you're talking about and it is BS that Chambers has the driveway where parking meters are. I'm willing to bet they like those spots open for customers.
Go speak to the GM of the Infiniti dealership and tell him what happened. Tell him you have an invoice you'd like him to pay. If he doesn't, I'd definitely make a scene.
Now, if you want to have some fun, call the City Hall and see if they legally opened that driveway. Start with the Permits department of Public Works. Next talk to somebody in the Transportation Department and ask them about those meters.
Either that meter or driveway shouldn't be there. Somebody must've called it in.
Good luck.
