ok here is mine.
i was coming out to T.O. for a meet of some sort to see you guys.
juat had my D2’s put on and was running touge factory spacers. was driving with my buddy Arron and picked up marcus in the GTA and was heading back down the 401.
i felt my car get sick shaky at about 130kph so i pulled over onto the shoulder. i couldnt see anything so i drove slowly to the fisrt off ramp and found a parking lot.
this is at about 7pm.
i was told we were in a bad neighbourhood…lol
anyways i didnt have the tools to get under the car as it was now extremely low. i called a few people and it turns out sasha waisn the area.
he stopped by with his lexus and we used all the OEM jacks and stuff.
got the car up alright but for the life of us we couldnt get any of the bolts off on the front passenger wheel.
called CAA, i have CAA gold and a pick up truck showed up in 30 minutes with a tourque bar.
even with a tourque bar the bolts werent budging… strange.
he called for a tow truck to tow me from the 401 and something all the way back to niagara.
the tow truck took about a half hour to show up and the guy looked at my car and said:
“this shit is too low, i gotta call a flat bed”
but he said he would wait with us until it came.
then he looks at my car and says:
“you know things are huge for drifting eh?”
— :shock: —
this comment along sparked a 2 hour conversation with the guy. the only reason it took 2 hours is becuse the flat bed was on a job downtown and couldnt get away.
it turns out this second tow truck driver who made the comment used to own a WRX and lived in the Yukon where he would thunder around all Ralley Style. it was one of the most interesting converssations with a tow truck driver i ever had.
when the flat bed finally did arrive this guy still stayed with us and watched while the 3rd driver got my car up on the Hino flat bed.
the guy treated my car like a baby.
i took my lip off of course, which they were surprised that i could do so easily.
didnt scrape a thing.
then we have the nice long bouncy hino drive for 2 hours back to my house.
had a great conversation teh whole way.
i tried to tip the dude $10 but he said dont worry about it, he makes the same $$$ on this one call as he would for 3-4 regular calls.
then he drive back to the GTA…lol
you know what another strange thing is…
if you park illegally any tow truck driver with any truck can move your car without damaging it. i had to deal with that one recently
they will; be careful because they would be liable for damages to your car.
the tow driver that towed me when i parked illegally told me afterwards htat he waited for 20 minutes after my alarm went off because he didnt want to have to tow my car cuase it was so low… but he was able to do so with no damage… about 30 people were watching him do it. but i was away.
so if you are there they will make it look hard and be grumpy.
if you parked illegally and they get a portion of the ticket, they will be nice and gentle and wont hurt a thing.
