---- it if you get pulled over they will just make you get it towed professional from that spot. So you will be closer and get it done cheaper.

yeah like free from the state police when they impound it because I couldnt afford the tow til a week later when I got paid. all in all, this idea just wont work.

Yeah, they won't let you tow anything with a rope on the highway/freeway.

I always just cross my fingers and hope I make it from point A to point B. :-\

Ouch man, I know that towing is expensive. 65 to hook up, 75 if you want a flat bed and then avg. is 3.50 a mile, that crap adds up quickly. I've got a budy w/a big dodge and a flat bed that I've used before but AAA will tow you in the middle of the night, my friends won't.

yeah a tow company wanted 60 to hook up and 4 bucks a mile.

37 miles...

comes to about 298 bucks.

your information is not totally correct, nor is it the same in every state.

In oregon basic membership covers 3 miles or to nearest safe place to park the car, or to AAA shop doing repairs, depending on distance etc.

Plus membership is 3 tows 100 miles each.

Also, I've borrowed AAA plus memberships before and they towed my car 60 miles, with almost a 2" drop. Wont tow modified cars?

How much would it be to rent a U-haul car dolley for a few hours and find someone with a hitch to haul it? $10 or $20 for their time and a full tank of gas?

Re:Rant, God Damned AAA
 
i payed 50 for my uhaul trailer....what would be funny though is if when you try to get it towed they tell you no, because it was a "pre-existing" condition...

i do this shiz for a living at geico 8)
