Came out of work yesterday looking forward to four days off. Fired up the Boxster, put it in reverse and backed out of my parking spot. Went to put it into first and something let go in the shifter/cables
Oh great ! Did the usual looking/probing but in a parking lot with business casual attire not going to get much done. So I called AAA and waited. Now when I called in I was very specific on make/model but I did not specify a flat bed, I didn't think I had to. One hour later a tow truck shows up. As soon as the driver hopped out he said his truck will not work for this car. So he called into dispatch and asked for a flat bed........dispatcher gets into a pissing contest with the driver !!! They were using walkie talkie type phones so when the driver was talking I yelled out send a fuxxxxg flat bed ! So about 30 minutes later here comes the flat bed. The original driver was nice enough to stay with me. So now I'm talking to the flat bed driver explaining that I will have to be in the car to push the clutch down so the car will roll............he say's can't do that
Turns out AAA has cameras in their tow trucks and the drivers are constantly monitored, any involvement by the customer they are written up/reprimanded! So now I have to have greasy hands/pants driver in my car while other driver mans the winch. Now I'm pissed so I made the guy in the car remove his hanging key ring, his flashlight so my seats don't get ripped. Of course he has no idea where anything is so I have to instruct him but I can't touch the car ! What a joke. Finally got it loaded and delivered to my house but their rules ( I'm sure driven by lawsuits ) are just rediculous. End of rant.
