Damn computer chip failed

So I was on my way to the movies with some friends in my truck when my computer chip failed and now I'm stuck on tge side of the rode and have to wait an hour for the tow truck to get here. Funny thing is I don't know how in the world a tow truck will be able to move my truck, hope it ain't a chevy.
