Reminds me.. I bought a land rover to tow with, better get a car hauler.

I love that when we break a 944 we just buy a turbo version. Yes, I do believe there
is a sickness.

First time I've ever had to tow since I've owned her, I'm sure it will happen many more times. DME went out this time.

First time any of my cars has been on a trailer. Had to move it from my school rental house to my parents house as I didn't get it running in time before I left Indiana. Will be on a flatbed for a cross country journey here in a few months. After that hopefully I can get it running and drive it now that it's been apart for nearly a year!

My first Tow since I have had the car. Time to get my gas leak fixed.

Driver was very careful and made sure there was no damage to the front valance. He used boards to smooth the line from the road to the truck and used straps instead of chains. He also had me watching his every move so he was careful. He actually took some pictures for himself of the car.

More than one tow truck driver has told me, "Yeah, we get a lot of these, no problem"
