Yup, I had to drop it twice.

Seems like I'm always getting towed. I have AAA.
They always give me the "your car is lowered" BS but they always seem to suck it up and tow me anyways..

insomniakz - want to open our own towing company? we'd make a lot of money off of ourselves

LOL I thought this thread was about bay area rides that spend a lot of time being towed.

I blew up my differential at Bimmerfest 2 weeks ago and had to tow it back to the Bay from Santa Barbara.....and the only way to do it was with a U-haul and a trailer....which my car was too low to get on, so I had to pull the front end just to get it on there...

Be glad you haven't! It was the most miserable car show/trip ever!
Blew a tire on the way there, got a ticket for speeding in the 200+ car caravan, then all that happened.
Good news is, I'm in the middle if installing a better differential

As for your towing, my old racing buddy drives a truck and his parents own the company..... it's Lima Towing... but I noticed your in SF and I know their office is down here in San Jose.
Incase you ever decide to call them, just ask for Paul Lima.

Flat beds can still be painful though.....

Good luck!
