So last night I blew the clutch slave cylinder on my 240sx, so I call AAA to get the car towed, and after the guy asked me what kind of car I had, he was like I got one of those in my garage with a 383 Stroker going into it, Guy said he was on here but I forget his screen name cause I was busy trying to search Nicoclub for the Replacement Part Number for the Clutch Slave. So if your on here bro post up!

i remember the first time i had to tow my 240, it was from college cause i broke the ONLY key for it at like 10pm.
When the driver drops me n my car off he blazed me out with some good bud it was interesting....

the one time i should have called AAA but i didnt. was when i split a injector o-ring, and just sprayin gas all over the motor. i was only about 5-10 mins away from home depending on traffic. luckly nothing happend other than loosing a half tank of gas, but as i look back it could have really gone bad.

AAA FTW. I had get towed off of a speed bump once. It was a killer speed bump, never seen anything like it in my life. It had spikes in it too.

Only negative thing is one tow truck driver pulled my car onto the flatbed via my tie rod. Car needed fixing so I didn't realize it until about 3 weeks later, by that time it was too late to file a complaint.

I always watch where they hook it up. I've corrected/helped a guy before.

But I also have to give it up to AAA and the tow truck driver that got my eclipse on the flat bed without breaking it.

Triple AAA sucked for me. I have the top package its like 260 a year. When my fuel pump went at my parents house I called them and the driver was like I need you to sign a damage waiver in case your bumper cracks pulling it up. I was like nope sorry cant do that. He called the manager and they were like well sir we cannot tow it. So I had to read my agreement and nowhere does it say they are not responsible for towing damages. In fact they even had a disclaimer that in the event they could not tow it they would reimburse me the towing fee.

So i told them this and they agreed, but they actually set the tow up directly and hired a local body shop who does old car restorations. Got her home without a scratch.... better then letting the first Knucklehead drag it up on its bumper.

But I am definately speed clipping my bumper on so I can remove it for towing
