You are bothered. It bothers you.
You are very bothered by me. (Nice try.)
Back on topic.I have such a hard time settling on an avatar LOL.
I been thinking about the Ferrari one lol.
And that girl still gonna be at the non-existent McDonald's next week
Okay back on the road, I pulled over, see ya in 5!!!
Why not tell her you just got an AAA membership and you'll be able to get her a free tow? Then she can give you the $40!
Reverse the scam!
Yes, let's.
I unfortunately used all 4 of my AAA tows this year and they don't reset until April
ALSO, AAA hates being sent on scam calls to cars that aren't there. I did that once.. guy saying "My car broke down" I actually called a tow for him

What really seems to be setting him off tonight is that somebody is ignoring him. He became completely unglued in the ignore function thread and I'm seeing a bit of it here too. Doesn't like being ignored, doesn't jive with his need to be the centre of attention.
Well you can't seem to admit I have the correct number of posts, I'm totally ready for you tonight.
As to the ignore thing, I can't be sure 4WD did, but he probably did, so, again, game on.
Please don't contribute to the de-rail of this thread. Wolf359 put it back on topic. Center of Attention yourself all you like.
I also need to correct your math, so I did.
I remember asking that engineer what his degree was in. I don’t think I ever got an answer.
But you need to be present with the AAA card for the tow so shouldn't you have gone there first?Yes, let's.

I could speculate but then I would be accused of detailing the thread.
Here's the thing. I was all ready to drive to NYC.
One of the things of scams/baits/phone scams is there is always the promise of something, IF you do something.
Having been scammed out of the food portion of our exchange, (right, you have a car emergency 26 minutes after going to get the food.) Wanting me to send $50 for a tow.. like I'm an idiot.. NO! So. I'm sending pic of the car, saying CALL ME, like, anything to lend validity...
I would have had to drive to NYC..
All she wanted was the money and I cut it off after I got too deep in.
One time my workplace try to tow a car parked at a parking spot to another parking spot, and the bill was around $110, and it was at 2017.
+ the insurance, and salary of the operator.
I've seen $50 tows before, but not for some years.
Usually its a guy with some big Ford F-350 or something and a dolly. Even then, I've seen those tows advertised for $150-$325 (Craigslist.)
Some were licensed, insured car haulers. Some were not.
I have also seen a seat belt and a driver in other car on the brakes used for a tow.
I've even briefly seen $40 tow in large city advertised, eventually changed to $50 then $70 then went away.
I am willing to bet, that was a guy or two with a big truck and dolly that could tow.. almost guarantee an Off The Books, no insurance or bonding, business license, etc.
When I had a starter go out, dead of winter, and needed a tow a solid 4 miles, it cost me $125 cash, even then I think it came to $160 somehow. (No AAA.)
That is as to tows, and my limited knowledge of light-duty (passenger car class.)
As to the .... "interesting" situation leading to be asked for $50 for a tow.. no more scams for me, I'm recognizing them and they are everywhere, is the main, short-version takeaway of how I got to share publicly, "Tows don't cost $50." Especially not on a weekend in NEW YORK CITY with NO corroborating evidence. It was an attempt at a scam.
I hope this helps clarify some things.
