Man today I had the worst day ever! First my car gets towed! Plus i just got my lowering springs so i was scared that they might have messed up the body by scratching it and all! secondly scared that the drivetrain might have gotten messed up... but i dont think anything is wrong after getting it back for $110... Damn that hurt the wallet for nothing! not even a crap mod!

Secondly my toliet over flowed! and now its all over the bathroom and the freakin room! sucks major!

Well just needed to rant!
Also any damage in towing a car like to the 4 wheel drive or anything? well they said they if the driver knows its a 4 wheel car they put it on a dolly and all... so im hoping they did that! cus they said the car would not move if its a 4wheel drive vehicle.

 

did they put the car on a flatbed?

 

lol, my car was dragged for half a block once.

 

If the Ebrake was on it wouldnt really go anywhere unless they towed it from the back, But if the car was in gear it would go foward wouldnt it??

 

well, since it's AWD, you gotta either dolly it for flatbed it. otherwise, the tires which are touching the ground will drag. e-brake doesn't matter.

 

oh... in gear doesn't matter, i mean.

 

okay heres the details i think... well they used a regular tow truck and i think they towed it from the back? and yes the ebrake was on... well thats why i asked... they said they put it on a dolley (forgive my spelling) which is somewhat like a flat bed... well thats what they said they do if the driver knows its a 4 wheel drive car... so i just wanted to know if there would be any damge to the drivetrain...

dizzigital what car was dragged half a block? the evo? and how was it dragged! just wondering sounds like a cool story..

 

okay well my question is do u think the driver dolleyd it? cus do u think he knew it was a awd car? or do u think he tried towing it from the back? well just asking.. kinda got me all scared now... hehe

 

uhh i thought with viscous coup. diff's all 4 wheels need to move or is throws everything out of wack.... If your e-brake was on, and they picked up the back and let the front wheels roll, (would they?) then something could go wrong... Don't quote me on this because i'm not an expert, but I did read a sticker inside the door on my buddy's stealth that said that.

 

lol, yeah. they dragged my EVO for half a block. the tow truck driver felt something strange so he pulled over only to find long tire marks all along santa monica blvd.

he then slapped the dolly under the tires and we were good to go.

nah, you don't have to worry about the drivetrain, unless he went on the freeway.

burnouts are worse for you than that.

 

okay cool thanks... well this will help me sleep better! damn that sucks but it is funny! im just hoping the tow truck drivers actually realize that the evo and wrxs and so on are all awd cars and need flat beds and if they are the cheap towing companys that they at least use dolleys.. oh well

 

yeah, even if they don't know right off the bat, they'll find out in about 30 seconds.

 

i saw a mitsubishi montero? or sum lil mitsu suv gettin towed from the back one time.. apparently it was awd cuz as soon as the truck started moving u heard the tires chirping.. i was like owie..

and i hear it screws up all ur gears and differentials.. so good luck with that

 

yeah, it does. if you take it for a nice ride.

stop being so sensitive, damn.

you remind me of the guy who wasn't sure whether to walk thru the door or just sit there and stare at it.

 

easy tiger.. i said i heard.. i dont kno if that really happened and wasnt saying it was gonna happen.. just puttin my .02 cents in
