    Anybody know of a person that has a tow truck? I need a car towed all of 1 1/2 miles. I don't want to pay $40 for for 20 mins and 1.5 miles.

    Tie a rope to the car and watch for the brake lights.

    Honestly man thats not a bad price. If you owned a tow truck, would you drive all the way over here, tow my car, and drive back to your house for any less? Factor in that a tow truck gets about 8 MPG.

    Well I talked to a guy w/a tow truck last night who literally lives all of maybe 5mins from where the car is; he told me $65. I think i'm gonna try getting some chain from home depot and pulling it.

    pulling is illegal, pushing is not...

    oh yeah if you do end up pulling it...dont do what the dumbasses do by using 2 ropes... that is like asking for a wreck... use 1 (ONE) strong rope... not 2 (two) NO

    if u use two ropes and turn, crazy shit happens and the car swerves in random directions... 1 is ideal

    i think they make rope designed for that they sell it at wal mart and home depot if i'm not mistaken

    What happened to p dizzle? I hadn't heard. I was gonna go to home depot and get a thick chain and a tow hook clamp, take off the bumper and hook it up like that.
