 Do I have a snowball's chance in hell of getting this ticket dismissed on a
 technicality? I mean it says BMW, not Alfa. Couldn't the officer have been
 looking at the wrong car? >>


I think the short answer would be NEVER!

On a similar note, I went to a meeting in Hollywood a couple of months ago 
and parked at a meter.  The meeting ran a little long, the meter ran out, and 
I got a ticket for overtime parking.  No problem identifying an Alfa here.  
It's a business expense, ho-hum, and I paid it pretty much right away.  

About a month later I got a letter from the City of LA Parking Authority (or 
whatever it's officially called).  They said something was in error 
concerning that ticket, and if I would like my money back, please indicate 
below and sign on the dotted line and return the letter, which of course I 
did.

While that, too, seemed like a parking ticket NEVER, I must report that so 
far I haven't seen the $30.  But if I do, Chris, I will use it to take you 
out to lunch next time you're in LA.
