DAS BOOT

I don't think anyone here would do this, but if someone else finds themselves Denver Booted, they may want to bitchslap gummint  for messing everything up, and just take it off.  Here's one way, according to a guy who did it. “ Removing the boot without tools or damage is actually a very simple matter. Simply let out about half of the air from the "booted" tired. Once you let the air out the prong that holds the boot in place can be slid past the tire, exposing the hubcap. I had initially intended to change the tire but I found that after sliding the clamp off the front of the tire the rest of the boot was only hooked into the wheel from the rear. I got behind the wheel of the car, started it and drove it a few inches forward and the torque of the wheel immediately popped the boot completely off. How to Remove a Parking Boot  ”
