Default Need favor from somebody in the East Bay

I'm towing a car from Sacramento with AAA (up to 100 miles), but my house is about 130 miles away. I have 15 free tows left this year, so I'm just going to split the tow into 2 parts. Can somebody in the East Bay area offer up their house as a quick median point for me to switch tows or tow trucks. I'll try to talk the tow truck driver into counting it as two, but if not, I'll have to switch trucks somewhere.

Thanks,
Dmitry

Dmitry, what did you buy in Sac? Is it what I think it is from Craigslist?

Heh, it sure looks a lot like yours from what I hear. Hey, what's up with your cell, I've been trying to reach you for a week.

It must be -- I don't see the ad up there anymore. So do we all browse craigslist constantly?

(I'd offer 'cept I just left Berkeley this morning, and won't be back for two weeks.....)

Think Tim spoke to you. You can use our place but we won't be home on Sat. Sunday would be fine.

Yeah. Thanks a bunch Jerry! I'll try to find somebody in Fremont, so that it's a smaller drive, but I'll definately let you know if I need your help. I'll bring the glove too!

Yah I think all us Bay Area rennlisters are addicted to craigslist "cars" section. My searches are "Porsche", "Ferrari", "Maserati", "Lotus", and "Aston Martin".. Though I can only really afford the Porsche and Lotus heh.

Dmitry from the looks on the pics I saw it looked just like mine. I think that was a steal. When we spoke to the seller he said some guy from LA was driving down to pick it up.

My cell has been dead for the last 8 days. The replacement is on the way. I sent you a pm for my home number. I won't be here this weekend and most of the week next week. Headed for Hawaii for a few days.

Save the free tows for when you need it. Just offer the guy a few bucks to take you the whole way.
30 more miles for him to drive isn't that much more if he has beer money in his pocket.

You could tow it to my house and cancel that second truck completely.

So I'm dying to know -- did you buy that craigslist car or what? IIRC, that photo of that ad was for an 88turbo with club sports wheels -- could it be a TurboS? Inquiring minds want to know....

It's a turbo S and in need of lots of money and work. How Dmitry is going to juggle 3 broken porsches is beyond me...
