Tows don't cost $50...

[Astro14]

I happen to think an axe is really useful...and I have a couple of really nice axes....

As useful as they are, they don’t fix the breakdowns that lead to a tow.

In 1980, I lost control of a car in a blizzard, ended up in the highway median on I-91 in Vermont.

The tow was $80 cash, for the 50 yards back onto I-91. Luckily I had it. Back then, and as a teenager, it was a great deal of money.

I was in no position to negotiate, no cell phones back then, the State trooper had called the truck.

So, $50 seems outrageously cheap.

And I’ve always kept a few hundred in cash in my wallet ever since. You never know....

I think I would avoid sites where you get hit up for money within a few minutes of meeting someone.

That’s all of the dating sites

Nearly 100% of women admit to going on dates to get free food at expensive restaurants (and that’s the real ones)

One shop in town has an arrangement with a tow company, Anywhere in city limits to that shop is a flat $50. Oddly enough it one of two shops in town I trust if a job needs special tools (ac work, alignments, and ect.)

On another note, jeez. Try Tinder or Bumble or something. Met some awesome chicks on there. Attorneys, girls with actual life plans, etc. Who didn't need MY money.

Both are regional

Around here apps have taken the place of Craigslist personal ads
you get the same 5 people and 2 are dudes

The person just now tried to tell me they never got home and still need the $10.

When we had to have the Leaseon towed to the colision shop in 2019 no one would consider hooking up for less than $100. So I had AAA drag it there.

Gee, I don't know.. all I have to do is send the 10 and we can meet "at my local McDonalds...."
