2. the NEW owner went out to replace the clutch shortly after arrival of the vehicle...
3. hes never driven a mustang...
4. he doesnt BELONG in a mustang, u can tell he had a problem fitting LOL
5. he doesnt get many tips for his job by loading the vehicles on safely...
6. Tom(69Clark) will NEVER use this company...
and finally...
7. hes never driven a mustang...

csgoody - Did you get anything for the trouble?

That video was 'painful' to watch...

The chrome exhaust pipes were nice...

Until, they drug on the ground.

I could see a couple issues, since he needed to slow so he didn't drag, but having to crank the car 20x, gee whiz

1) He was prolly a little uncomfortable loading the car because you were videotaping it. Prolly never been videotaped, loading a car. If he did something wrong, there was no way he could deny he did it. Plus, if it looked like he was being "careful" and something bad happened, at least he was trying. You're right. He should be doing something else.

2) That company should set their rigs up with electric winches. Much easier!

3) I'll bet he's never driven a Mustang. (That sounds strangely familiar.)

I don't think there was anyway to prevent the pipes from scraping b/c of the angle. He was trying to be careful, took him forever just to try to get the car up the ramps. I wouldn't totally put it on him.

I thought the same thing as reddy351 mentioned. He's probably camera shy and got stage fright. I've seen much worse though unfortunately.

haha

ouch!

I once had to have my car driven away by a service guy...

came back with a cracked H-pipe....after I'd already told him to watch the ride height, he smacked a speedbump

I trust only one guy in town to tow my car, since he's got a gorgeous mustang himself, and knows how to make sure nothing gets damaged.

Yup, had to sell it. Sometimes financial problems get the best of us and we gotta do what we gotta do! It's ok, I've got my eye on another one here, shouldn't be too long before I'm back in the saddle..

I didn't choose that company, the guy who bought my car sent them to get it. And damn right I was videotaping it! I know how this stuff works, I watch all the "Judge" shows.. no pics, no video, no case. Plus, I wanted to get the video for the buyer so he could visually see the car being loaded.. When alot of money changes hands, people tend to get uneasy, wondering if the deal is legit or not... this was to ease his mind a little quicker.

Phenomenal! I'd be in tears or just stopping that whole process after the first minute or two.

I've had to be towed twice, but by AAA and fortunately they brought out the right flatbed truck that can handle lowered cars/sports cars. It was extra nice to see the winch in action, rather than someone else driving my car.
