well like i said it was a wierd afternoon. i went to walmart to go buy a new subwoofer and on the way back home i saw a F150 pulled off towards the median. litterally out in front of the apartments i live at. so i decided to try to help him out and pulled over and asked him what he needed he said he needed a jump start to get him goin and i said ok. so i pulled down in the the muddy median to turn towards him to give him a boost. so then i proceeded to get stuck and well the the cops pulled up asking what was goin on. and i told him what all happened. and he said i needed to either have someone pull me out or they'd have to call a tow truck to winch me out. well i couldnt find anyone to pull me out. so here came the tow truck. he pulled me out and by the time i got out the guy i was trying to help had already started walking. so half an hour later and a 80 dollar bill to get pulled out. i didnt even end up helping the guy. but the cops said they appreciated trying to help the guy and do a good deed. but after all this i just have mud on my truck to show for this.... i ended up taking the sub back to pay for the tow bill.

heres the pics...



oh so embarrassing....



this is all i have to show for the 80 bucks....

 

OUCH That sucks Chris, gotta love 2WDs ...

 

Thats sucks Chris but good try on helping a brother out. Check your insurance policy, if you have towing it usually covers $75 once a year.

 

yeah mine covers towing but i probably wont mess with it.

 

You might want to check into AAA- I have the plus plan for abt $70 a year. It gives me 5 free tows a year up to 100 miles for free + lock out service- Years ago I had an old car wth a broken trunk lock- they came to where I worked and replaced it for free! You can also get discounts on rentals and hotels, Vacation planning, maps- Never regretted joining. They have less expensive plans also with most of the same benefits

 

oh yeah. ive been meaning to check out AAA. ive been forgetting. dam...

 

State Farm has a similar road side assistance plan....and you don't have to have their insurance.

 

really. i have state Farm insurance. chit. why didnt anybody tell me this chit.

 

Yep state farm offers up to 75 dollars on a tow and will do lockout services for you.

 

well hot dog!!! im gonna take the reciept to insurance on tuesday to get my 75 bucks back then!!!

 

I pay about $5/month for roadside assistance through my ATT cell service.

 

thats what I did at Riffraff East when I blew my turbo. FINALLY found someone that would tow me for 5 miles and NOT charge me 200 bucks.

 

the name of this thread needs to be changed to wierdest 2 days ive ever had....

head gasket blew and probably warped my cylinder head on the 88. gonna start getting parts together so me and Tim can fix it.


i cried earlier. this blows... litterally

 

Hang in there Chris, I have learned the best lessons are fixing something for the first time.

 

yep. i will. i found a set of used heads on craigslist for 100.
