Drove my Carrera up to our summer house at Lake Berryessa (Napa County). 120 miles from my home in Redwood City. On the Sunday I'm leaving, fuel pump goes out. . Call AAA and request a flat bed. 15 minutes later the dude arrives. He had been at a lock out at one of the local resorts.

Dude looks suspect. I start to explain that it's lowered and that I think we need some 2x4 in order to get it on his truck. The dude hears me out and says,

"I have serviced the Napa Valley and surrounding areas for 25 years. Do you know the number of exotic cars that show up in Napa on any given wine tasting weekend or auto tour. I've flat bedded more Lambos and Ferrari's that you can shake a stick at. Don't worry. Consider me your designated driver and go have a beer with your friend while I get this done."

He proceeds to get out multiple pieces of wood and created the appropriate ramp to get my car on without it even touching the bed. Put cotton rags on my wheels before putting webbing thru. Had paper for the seats and floor and put gloves on when he got inside to release brake. A pro!!!!

We now have a 2 hour ride back to the bay area. So we chat. He’s a single dad and stoked he got my job that day. He was looking to do some birthday and Christmas shopping in the bay area and this worked out perfect for him.

I had 100 miles free towing, additional $ for every mile over. He comped the additional 20 miles. I gave him a $50 tip.
