Cant Tow Car With Full Subs

[94GTLaserRC]

Had a hard time last nigh....Had to get the car towed, but when the truck went to hook up the cable to the frame, the tow holes were blocked (covered) by the Subframe connector. Luckily this guy knew what the h3ll he was doing... He attached the hook on the cables to the rear holes from under the front, and used the 2x4's to load the car up without a scratch...even with the kit and the lowering springs.

He even backed loaded it into my garage!!! :SNSign:

Just an FYI to be aware of!!

Hrmm, I'm guessing you have full lengths...I've had my car towed a few times with no problems and I have sfc's as well....

My full length s/f connectors block those front holes too. But I had it towed a couple of times, and it was not an issue. Most of those guys tow a TON of cars and can find another appropriate hookup.

what happen to your car?

Alt pulley came off while driving.

Believe it or not, this is actually the FIRST time since I got the car in 1994 that Ive had it towed.

This tow guy at least was cool and knew what the h3ll he was doing.

your lucky man...when i broke a balljoint last summer pulling into my driveway, we had to wait til 2AM for AAA to come...of course they sent out some dumb **** who didnt know his ass from his elbow....he starts to slide these blocks under the front a-arms since the car couldnt roll, and he then decides they arent necessary....i start to get mad, but my dad tells me the guy probably knows what hes doing so i just watch....the guy proceeds to drop the body of the car on my front tire, and creases the **** outta my new fender i had just put on.....i was going to kill him...i started screaming at him, tellin him he was retarted and why did he do that, and he goes "oh, i guess i needed the block under there"......i was PISSSSSEEEEEDDDDDDDD

glad to hear they did a good job man

I had my car towed once. didnt pay much attention to where the guy hooked up the cables, but i should have. a few weeks later i noticed that the guy had actually pulled the car from the radiator core support and put a big a$$ bend in it!!

I gave the guy $15...
He even backed it into my garage at the house and didnt complain about it!!


Aaron..it's my own fault...we changed the pulley a week ago, and were being a little cautious with the impact gone as to not over tighten it...I guess we were TOO cautious.
