Just a thought: AAA. That is, if you're a member. I have the 100 miles of towing.

If it has boobs or wheels, sooner or later you're going to have trouble with it.

that's what I was going to say.... you can become a member and get your first tow after 3 days.www.cardomain.com/id/jermnc77

not a bad idea. never thought of being a AAA member, especially to fake a breakdown at this guys house or wherever I can get it to to get it home. Sadly it's well over 100 miles.
I think I'm going to try to find a rental place around here somewhere that doesn't really care.Comment

Jon is the man (or one of them) here, and in no way am I saying he's wrong here...but, I've towed auto metros for thousands of miles with out one single problem. I simple put them in N and turn the key to on and away we go. There might be something different about the festy, but I'm not currently aware of it. I've heard myths that the trans won't be properly lubed, thus will hurt it, but all my metros came back to life without issue.
Jon? Thoughts? I say flat tow it...better than missing out?

They have a 12-step program I hear. The first step is admitting you have a problem. In this case, you need a car towed.Originally posted by deathegg View Post90 Festy (Larry)--B6M (Matt D. modified B6 head), header, 5-speed, Capri XR2 front brakes, many other little mods

that is hilarious.Originally posted by TominMO View Post
I should call and see if they have any 12 step repair programs to see if they can just fix the car for free after I join and just drive it home. Or maybe that'd be the twelth step...drive it home for me

yeah apparently some places don't care. Other places are just anal...they must get good bonuses or something? lol who knows
it really pissed me off though. they have pictuers on the desk in the lobby of cars about the size of a festiva renting and pulling trailers about the size of a festiva. it's like REALLY?! COME ON!?! lol
I guess sometime I will go ahead and get a hitch and figure out whose got what going on, etc.Comment
