Sure Easton... another covert game of Monopoly on a Friday night for you I bet.

Update: Poor Thomas . He just called me yesterday saying after he got his fuel pump replaced, his car conked out in College Station. When is it going to end? Another $400 wrecker bil, I'm thinking of the mods and upgrades he could have done to his car with this money. Anybody have like $1k you want to donate to him? It's time to bite down and buy a Toyota Corolla or something eh?

So did anyone ever determine if this was Safe Tow of Safe T Tow? Because if its not Safe Tow you guys are giving them bad name by slandering them for something they didnt do.

If it broke down in college station he should have had you post up on here. There are quite a few ls1 guys there that I'm sure would have helped him out or possibly towed him back to htown for ALOT less than 400.

During the course of what was happening we did not get the details of exactly who was what but all we knew was he acted authoritive like he was Mr. Safe-tow safety-tow, Walmart-tow, Vulture Tow and said we needed to hurry and get his car out of there. I recant any negatives about tow truck drivers, there are a few bad apples out there and it's that few that really gets the others reputation burnt.

i got a really cool tow truck driver my first and only time. my AAA at the time only had 3 miles on it, and the place was about 10 miles away. he wrote down 3 miles exact, guy did everything he could to get my car on the flat bed without scraping my front bumper or harming the car. guy was cool as hell, had no money either and he gave me a couple bucks for a drink at the gas station accros the street. but then the place i had it braught to royally shafted me in the long run, i guess it's one of the percs of living at an apartment and not being able to do half my own **** here...
