After paying a tow truck way too much money...the fuel injection work I had done has made a world of difference. Thanks for the advice by the way! My car runs great now...... however, knowing myself like I do there will always come a time when screw something up and have to tow it again. It sure would be nice if I had a tow bar like they have for the bugs. Has anyone done towed a 914? Is there a specific towbar I can use or make? I saw a guy modify a bug towbar to connect inside the front trunk but that looked like some serious work.
Any advice? Eric |

They will. But you can't tell them thats what you are doing. Its against their policy to do it, because of people taking advantage of it. But I can tell you that I know personally of two cars that have been towed great distances (nearly 100 miles in one case) by AAA. A good friend of mine (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif) told me that most of the time the tow truck drivers have no problem towing them and 2 out of 3 times they will tell you that they have a buddy who has a 914 he's restoring, etc. 1 out of 3 times however they complain expecially when 15 year old gasoline started pouring out onto their flatbed. Nothing that a decent tip won't fix. The drivers are contracted by AAA, they are not AAA employees. AAA does 100 mile towing up to 3 times a year if you have AAA plus. There's another level up where you get 200 mile towing once a year I believe. But it is substantially more expensive. -Tony |
