Got stuck today on a ride from San Fernando to Venture.
Blowing fuses for the fuel pump.
Called AAA at 12:30 pm from Main Street in Ventura. You have to have a flatbed truck to tow, ok, you have to wait till 4pm. What the F***.
Send a regular truck, sorry it will damage the car. It hasn’t happened in the past when I’ve had it towed.

5pm on the phone with a supervisor, we don’t have the equipment, tow company said nobody wants to drive 50 miles to LA from Ventura.

They found a driver but doesn’t take passengers! That’s ok with you right? FU!

We can have someone there at 8am Sunday morning!

WTF never had an issue like this after 13 years a member, will not be a member for 14.

I counted on them being there, crawled under there car, found the problem, fixed in 10 minutes, Saturday night insurance jobs are to important to miss out on.

I've had AAA for over 15 years and have had good dealings with them. Had many flatbed tows with various vehicles - guess I've been fortunate (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I remember one time when I need to have my 911 transported from a private garage that I rented to the shop my brother & I started leasing in 2010. The AAA driver showed up, but told me that he wasn't supposed to transport any vehicles that didn't have a motor.

I reasoned with him and he agreed to do it. He even helped push it out of the garage and down a 90° driveway that his flatbed couldn't navigate through.





I spotted him a $20. for being a good sport (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)


Had to have the BB towed from Kent's place to my shop when the hydraulic clutch modification didn't work out as planned (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)




... and when the shift cable end became dislodged on the Cayman one evening.




Up on the lift and 10 minutes later, fixed the problem (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif)
