I know most of us have been here before....I've had all of my cars break down on me and i've got pictures of the bad memories

haha.

Post pictures of your cars getting towed!

My MR2:

My 240sx:

and now as of last week, my MSP! (check out the awesome dented up drivers door from the hit and run my car was involved in while I was working...they didn't even leave a note!):

damn dude, that sucks about the hit and run, i only ever got my srt-4 towed and i was too pissed off at myself that i ran that last time knowing my tranny was acting weird, i still feel stupid for being "oh, 1 more run and we'll leave". so i never got a picture of it

justinlansdale · 09-28-2008, 11:04 PM

i know it's the worst but i guess you REALLY know its the worst when the tow truck driver remembers where you live from all the other times he's towed your cars :-(

after spanking MissDSM in a race, my headgaskets finally stopped leaking and just blew out.

BigWhiteTodd · 09-28-2008, 11:06 PM

i know how you feel an i see you driving around all the time cars nice..

**TROLL** · 09-28-2008, 11:10 PM

this was a good tow

wish i had pics of it on the enclosed trailer a couple weeks ago when it was getting painted... i felt like it was a straight racecar in that thing.

i know how that feels

when i called the tow truck to get the corolla, i asked if they needed my information and they said "we have been dealing with you for years now, we know where you live"

haha/ only times ive ever gotten towed is when i 1st bought my cars. my 93 300zx was towed home (had some body damage and bent suspension when i got it) and i towed my 89 240sx home with a u-haul dolly

(blown timing chain)

at one point i had an 87 mazda b2000. somehow i knocked a tooth off in the rear end, which eventually knocked them all off and left the truck helpless lol. somehow it worked out that it totally stopped moving under its own power, about a mile up the street from my house, in a shopping center. i left it in a space and came back that night with 3 friends

i started it up (for the power steering and brakes) and we started pushing towards the road until a cop spotted us and made a big scene... so about 3 cops later i finally talked them into letting me finish the job. i got a police escort through the parking lot until i made it to the road (which just happens to be all downhill to my house) then i jumped back in and took the truck on its final cruise to my house

...then i sold it for like $250 a month later

**** i think i spent about 250 on the tint alone...

No pictures but have a couple tow truck stories

1. Went with a friend to go pick up his 240 from NJ.. We had to follow the tow truck down there in his other car beacause the driver had his pop's with him.. On way back my buddies car we drove broke down (thank god the tow truck was a flat bed that also had the chery picker thing on the back) both cars got towed back. I had to sqeeze next to the dad (long ride back. silence.........) and my buddy laid down in his one car.

2.Went to go get my old civic that broke down.. drove with tow truck guy to get it. someone slammed into the back of us. we towed him home first (I had to sit on dudes lap haha!..... it moved...........KIDDING haha)

I wish I had pics.

LevittownMonster · 09-29-2008, 07:09 AM

OMG JDM that is one clean civic u have there

lownslow95 · 09-29-2008, 08:08 AM

I don't have any pictures of my cars getting towed, but they were all towed from getting totaled in accidents.
