That is hilarious, had a similar situation back in the college days in VT. I had a rather tumultuous relationship with a 1984 CJ7, the local tow truck owner/operator and I saw a lot of each other. Hey, good guys to know, in my humble opinion.

Had a tow guy ask me "where do I know this truck from" I told him " right back there , this is the 3rd time you had it back there, do I get a frequent flyer discount" on an old work van I had.

Haven't used his services in a year, but he brought my '84 home when I bought it; towed it when the fuel pump died; did frame work on the '86.... Nice guy, always brings his kids along, do their homework in the truck

haha that's awesome! the one time one of my porsches got towed, the tow truck guy was freaking hilarious. Ended up having some psycho lady in a subaru try and tow another car out of a ditch (i know, right?) fried the clutch, and he towed her car to the shop. Long story short, she wanted him to come back to the shop (which was closed on saturday and locked in the shop he towed it to) because they wanted to charge her a lot (go figure).

So he spent a good portion of the time that we spent getting my car in my garage telling this lady how psycho she was (she kept calling back yelling, I could HEAR her from where I was sitting). She threatened to have him arrested, cops called, etc etc, you name it. He explained many times his job is to tow car from A to B, and she insisted he was a criminal for not bailing her car out of the shop.

End of the conversation went something to the effect of "Thank you ma'am, you're worthless too, have a nice day." and I about died laughing. I had a "free" coffee from our local coffee joint, gave him the card so he had a free coffee and thanked him for the hilarity and getting my car home safe, etc etc.

Anyway....

Happy holidays!
