i was degraded last night

i totally lost the clutch peal in my truck, no pressure, not a clue whats wrong until i can start to take it apart...but i called AAA for a tow, and what else shows up but an F-450 with 6.DOH in it...and i had to ride in there with this old drunk biker looking fellow, with my 7600lbs rig on the back maxing out those tire clamp/lift arms...

not only that he pulled the thing home doing 80mph, and then over charged me by 10 bucks on purpose. i can at least say the ride was comfortable

Just a note to those with State Farm, get the towing coverage, it only adds a few bucks... And they cover the whole bill, nice for those of us without AAA.

I was glad I had it when I had my PSD

it was 3 miles free, $3 a mile afterwards...

the total trip was 10.6 miles...and he told me it was 13.1 so he could charge me for 10 miles...and make 30 bucks even

i was not gonna argue with a biker lookin truck driver at 4 a.m. over 8 dollars tho, considering he had a side arm on him

I have American Family Insurance, $8 a year for towing coverage, per vehicle.

Sooner or later, everything mechanical breaks down.
