ignorance is bliss....

maybe you should attend grade 4 again....just a suggestion.

Another idea would be to use all that money you have to hire a tutor to teach you how to conjucate proper sentences.

to bad you go screwed over. I've had my car towed numerous times with no problems. I've usually found drivers to be quite respectfully. They usually take great care with making sure the car is not hurt. Then again everyone in BC is much nicer One thing i did do though is raise my car just enough to make it easily towable.

well i dont really care about the body of the car. i got the body for free wif the skirts and its only a beater but i was trying to keep it in good shape for the most part cause it got painted 2 years ago and it still was looking semi prime but this just killed it looks like the stock bumpers are coming on before i was hoping. also i didnt want to cause problems with not giving him the money like one of the guys said he would have took the car ah well time to get some duct tape out!! lol

CAA pays drivers next to nothing what do you expect next time call a local tow company that deals with lowered cars and tell them what you have done to your car. I drive a flatbed even with ramps and wood sometime you have to remove a bumper to prevent damaging it, which I'm glad to do but don't think it will be free. CAA will not pay drivers anything extra to tow your car versus your moms toyota. On a lowered car expect to pay $100 or more for hook up alone plus milage it might be expensive but your cars worth it with the amount of mods you've done.

$36 may sound like a deal, but look what it got you. Most caa drivers get 40-50% so maybe $18 to the driver think he cares what happens to your car. If you call caa they may pay to fix your car but by their rules they don't have to cover cars with modified suspension (raised or lowered) so you maybe sol they might also not renew your membership consider that and how many calls your using.
