Default Parking Ticket Question

I got a parking ticket tonight. It's only $40.00, so really not worth fighting it. Just a quick question though. The officer spelled my car model wrong on the ticket. I drive an Impreza not Impazza. Can you get out of the ticket because of this error? Like I said though, not really worth fighting the ticket and wasting time since its only $40.00. Just wanted to get some thoughts from the CP experts.

Depends where the parking ticket is from, city or Impark. Don't pay impark, but do pay city.

How they spell the car name is compltely irrelevant.
The license plate number is all that counts.

Just becasue the make a mistake on a ticket doesn't mean it isn't valid.

Hell Hulk Rogan once failed to get out of a ticket even when the cop got his first name and street name confused on a speeding ticket

Watch out man, these are the kind of threads that bring out the CP do-gooders to give you a lecture on how you're scum of the earth for fighting tickets, and how should just man up and pay it.

Are you sure? After all, it's a FERRARI not a Ferarri...

Just thinking off the top of my head, the only tickets I'd fight because of mistakes would be wrong dates or wrong locations. I'd think that misspelling the car model would be nullified by a proper plate (as mentioned already).

No... the ticket will still stick. This isn't a moving violation.

still wondering if it's city or private firm. I don't think a private firm can do anything to you, unless you try to park on their property again.
