Ghetto *** tow truck driver and owner! At least from what I've seen they will use those boards as a cheat to get the car on a flat bed cuz it is to low and will scrape. Now the *** end of your car is screwed, defeats the purpose.

You get what you pay for I guess.........

If you ever witness a car thats too low for a flat bed to pull it up they use wooden blocks and ramps to make the angle less so the cars bumper in front or back doesnt bend or scrape... Owner had nothing to do with this IMO, id blame the idiot who pops the clutch and sent the **** flying.

I've seen that more than once, in fact twice with my own car. Tow truck drivers try using blocks or a 2x4 and still scrape the damn bumper. That was just plain idiotic though.

Sometimes you gotta make do with whatcha got, just be prepared to pay the consequences.

He probably didn't do any real damage.

wanna bet? those exotic super cars are fragile to say the least, the rear shocks probably blew out after a jolt like that to them. it doesn't take much, i watched a guy lower his slammed truck to quick on a floor jack and blew out a front shock and the truck wasn't that high off the ground.

There is also a full under body carbon fiber pan to keep wind resistance down, I'm sure he broke that into pieces.

I wouldn't blame the truck driver, I have to use wood every time I need a flat bed ride so my intercooler does not scrape. Cant use a winch either because it pulls up on the underneath of the bumper and ruins it. What they did wrong was not drive up the wood at a steady pace/ throttle.

CGT has an auto throttle feature made to prolong the clutch life and allow you to inch up inclines to prevent scraping the front. it also allows you to release the clutch without needing to touch the gas pedal to prevent a stall. driver clearly wasn't aware of this.
