Let's go streetracing!
 

I picked this up the other day (I drive a tow truck), it was a 17 year old kid trying to race on some street in kent, lost his ---- and hit a parked loaded semi truck. I scored a gigantic book of CD's and about 40$ in quarters from this bad boy.

It's supposed to be a 04 maxima.

is he dead?

Re: Let's go streetracing!
 

Unfortunately for those of us who drive, no.

Re: Let's go streetracing!
 

that guy had luck...

Re: Let's go streetracing!
 

So you stole the kids CD's? You're a ---- bag. I'll find the owner and let him know.....

Re: Let's go streetracing!
 

LOl!

Re: Let's go streetracing!
 

For sure. Stealing from civilians ::)

Re: Let's go streetracing!
 

Dave, I think I know where you got this from.....


:y

The towing industry is full of crooks who don't work for their money. It's legalized extorsion, and I hope they all die and get dragged around by thier nuts on a tow truck.

Re: Let's go streetracing!
 

I hate tow yards/impound lots.
>:(
car got impounded 2am one morning, stolen within two hours from an inside a garage. less than 3 hours later. (same cop, that has my car impounded, impounds the car yet again)

but the yard is cannot be held responsible for lost/stolen items. while at their yard!

BS

Re: Let's go streetracing!
 

Agree, When my prelude got inpounded I lost CD's, CD player and a few other little things

Re: Let's go streetracing!
 

lets all hope that the rest of us(who aren't totally retarded) dont get our cars impounded for the reason that you WILL get your ---- stolen. i know that people prowl the impound lots cuz they know that no one will care if a ca gets broken into, hey that sounds like a good way to get some extra cash.......just playin

Re: Let's go streetracing!
 

Mine got towed cause the motor blew 256K miles on it. I left it stitting on the side of the road over nite. Went back to get it it was gone.

Re: Let's go streetracing!
 

FOR CHRISTS SAKE IT'S NOT AN IMPOUND LOT!!! My company doesn't do impounds. I haul insurance totals (as i've said 25X on here) for insurance companies in Washington, and do some AAA work. I don't even touch the car until the owner has signed a release of interest and given the OK for me to haul it to the auction yard. When I pick a car up, the owner has already gathered whatever he/she wants to gather out of the vehicle.

I know that the impound companies are shady, as it is unfortunately a very unregulated industry. But, come on. How stupid would I be to say I took a bunch of ---- off an impounded car and post about it (with pictures) on the internet!?!?

Re: Let's go streetracing!
 

My buddy wrecked his car, had an exhaust stolen from the trunk and multiple CD's... we got there and removed the CD player speakers and other stuff before THAT could be stolen.

I hate people like you who steal ---- out of the peoples cars.

Re: Let's go streetracing!
 

its not stealing when they leave it in after they sign the papers for the totaled check

Re: Let's go streetracing!
 

Oh so true. And we don't get the call for at least 10 days AFTER they sign papers. Here's a breakdown of how the whole thing works so everyone here doesn't think I'm stealing from people.

1. Car gets wrecked
2. Whatever local towing company (NOT MINE) picks up the car, takes it to THEIR(NOT MINE) lot or the owners house
3. Owner gets all personal items from the impound/towing company(NOT MINE) or from their driveway
4. Insurance cuts a check for car, owner signs car over saying they release EVERYTHING to my company
5. I get dispatched to pick up car
6. I call the previous owner, verify they are indeed done gathering their personal items, and making sure it's ok to pick up
7. 10 days or more later, I pick up the car.

Re: Let's go streetracing!
 

Well when you put it like that I have no problem with that, whatever they leave behind is fair game. But they stole that ---- before the insurance company even came to see the car :S

Re: Let's go streetracing!
 

I hear that. Like I said, impound companies are ------- shady as hell. I could never do impound work, the stereotype that goes with it isn't worth the money. Washington state is getting ready to pass a bill regulating the industry a little.

On a side note, if any of you should wreck your cars, have them towed TO YOUR HOUSE. Once your adjuster cuts you a check, strip that ----------er down. I've hauled in motorless cars with nothing but a dash, two seats, and 4 spare tires. 99% of the time people are so lazy they leave complete stereo systems in, and the insurance company just throws it away.

Re: Let's go streetracing!
 

theres a towing company here in town that i work on their trucks for them. ive went over to their lot befor and theyll have cars on the fork lift drilling holes in the gastanks and dumping the gas in their cars. im glad the towing companies around here are on my side... i do work for 4 of them and i get free tows always to my house or my shop :6

Re: Let's go streetracing!
 

Here's the main point. If the Kid is stupid enough to race his parents maxima and hit a parked SEMI. he deserves his ---- stolen. I would feel sorry for him if he hit a deer that jumped out in front of him but a fucky semi. He's stupid, let him earn his hard knocks!

Re: Let's go streetracing!
 

You are just as big of an idiot. Did you even read the whole thread? Nothing got stolen.

Re: Let's go streetracing!
 

so if I totaled my car and the insurance company cuts me a check for less the money put into the car, would they let me remove everything thats not stock on the car? eg. motor/tranny, ecu, turbo, stereo etc. ?

Re: Let's go streetracing!
 

They aren't going to tell you "hey, go strip that fucker down", but yeah, they really don't do anything about it. I've never heard of anything coming of it.

Re: Let's go streetracing!
 

Wow, some people can't/don't bother to read. Good score man. When I dusted the radiator on my ninja with the front tire, I had a guy pull his flatbed over to help. He was like "What happened?" I told him the story and showed him the turbo and he was blown away. (He ride motorcycles too, I think his name was Spider or Bug or something) He was hauling a car to the auction and I rode with him to make the delivery. Then we went back and picked up the bike and took it to my house. He only charged me $60.00. If you ever read this, thanks brother. :6

Impound lot = organized crime

Insurance/freelance tow truckes = Help from the heavens (especially when you're dunk and stack your car in a snowbank :-X)

Re: Let's go streetracing!
 

sorry i neglected to read the whole thread. Yeah both of my uncles are tow truck drivers. one is a class a driver for Mary's towing in everett. And the other is a class B driver/owner of pillchuck towing, so to those of you who need the help. give either a call. both are honest good working guys. Tell em Their nephew Justin sent ya.

Re: Let's go streetracing!
 

good luck.

Re: Let's go streetracing!
 

that kid is a fucktard... end of story. too bad we have lemmings like that in this world, it is worse when they don't succeed at offing themselves and is even worse when they off someone else instead of themselves. >:(

Re: Let's go streetracing!
 

I don't care about who's right or wrong here, I just want to flame somebody: tow truck drivers eat their young.

Re: Let's go streetracing!
 

ive gotten the same tow by the same guy 2 times (both times my ignitor quit and i didnt have a spare) and he was the nicest tow driver i ever met. was tellling me stories about random ----, old trucks, etc, it was hilarious, but i'm pretty sure he was sauced :-\

i've towed a few cars with my toyota with nothing but a tow rope (pontiac 6000, '78 bonneville with a 455, a tempo) and made like 50 bucks between all of them. im lucky i didnt get arrested for any of it, 20ft rope is only about 7 feet off my bumper when its anchored to tow points :l :l and the township ive done these in, is the one that is trying to arrest me for any given thing they can find. but yeah, lots of towtruck drivers take it upon themselves to tow ---- while paperwork is being done, or get deadies off of highways (i counted 5 or 6 in a 10 mile stretch on rt28 last night) and im sure they'll be gone with no notice to the owner by the weekend

Re: Let's go streetracing!
 

Haha, bing bongs

Re: Let's go streetracing!
 

my alternator went out and it was like midnight. i was near the skagit casino, so i called budget towing and had them tow me to shwabbs in mount vernon(which where i was working at the time) i guess he was a volunteer firefighter or something, well, right down the road there was a house fire, and he was on call that night.

long story short....he "never towed me" and i got a $100 tow for nothin. i was hella confused, and releived, cuz i was ------ broke. bw, i only had my debt card

Re: Let's go streetracing!
 

you should have at least gave the guy a $20

Re: Let's go streetracing!
 

I tow and i rape the cars after they have been there for awhlie and are about to go to the junk yard! Not all tow drivers steal its just the type person some are :8 :8! I have also saved many people from D.W.I. a tow man is your best friend at that time because if you hit some ---- on a back road and the cops don't know you can slip some extra dough and get home with no licence lost or hassle from the cops. So i say nice score! :)

Re: Let's go streetracing!
 

You help drunk drivers? Eat choad and die.

Re: Let's go streetracing!
 

If they have money! ---- it i gotta eat too made $300 off some dude not to mention he paid the tow also :-*

Re: Let's go streetracing!
 

Gay.

I have never taken extra money to help someone out. And as far as "saving" drunk drivers, you are ------- retarded. I won't even let a drunk person in my cab, and I've turned down many calls because people were loaded. Matter of fact, I help a lot of folks out for free. During the ice storm we had in western WA a frew weeks ago I was on the news because some guy called KOMO while I was out pulling families out of snowbanks, ditches, and uphills for free and bringing ------- food to them as well. It was only $1 cheeseburgers, but ----, I was doing something. I didn't sleep for 36 hours. I'm not going to say I did every tow for free, because I didn't. Some people were nice enough to throw some cash at me, and that was great.

I'm sure you were out there, telling families with no gas in their cars "It's going to be an extra 100 bucks because it's snowing" or some such bullshit. Drivers like you give the industry a bad name, and what you're doing is illegal.

Re: Let's go streetracing!
 

Hey i don't get paid alot of money so i do what i gotta do so ---- it! ;)

Re: Let's go streetracing!
 

Damn, he just summed up what is wrong with most of the world in like 18 words... ::)

Re: Let's go streetracing!
 

i hate any one who helps drunk drivers cuz i had two cousins and an uncle die in a drunk driving accident and the drunk had two dwi before hand!!!!

Re: Let's go streetracing!
 

And his attitude exemplifies 80% of tow truck drivers out there. If you don't like what you get paid, get another ------- job, mang. I don't make a shitload of cash either, but because i'm professional, quick, and safe, I make a good deal more than your average driver.
