Default Anyone wanna tow my car?

Just thought i'd throw this out but i broke at GLD tonight and was wondering if anyone would be interested in towing my car back to Joliet on 7/2. I of course will pay for fuel and time.

I wanted to go to GLD last night! Sorry to hear about the troubles, what happened exactly?

Also sorry I don't have a truck or trailer so I can't be of any help.. Just so you know though, since most towing companies charge A LOT. You can rent a full car trailer at U-Haul for a day's use for not too much, then all you need is someone with a truck to go get the trailer and you're good to go.

I had to do that once for my Jeep when it broke down in Indiana and it ended up being A LOT cheaper than having a company tow it all the way home.

Tow truck will be hundreds of dollars. I will make a call & repost later.
I'm in the same boat, sold my trailers, and now I need one!!
I know a guy, that might do it for a few bucks.
