I'm just as bored and antsy to get my car as everyone else, so here's another mindless, off-topic question.
Friday night I was sitting at a nice little cafe, when I lookd outside the window. Hey... there's a black Toyota Landcruiser just like mine being put up on a flatbed towtruck...hey, it has the same suspension lift and tires as mine...hey, it has the same Bull bar and antenna as mine...wait, that is mine!!!!
Long story short, I was parked illegally because the 'no parking' sign was completely onscured by an overgrown tree (damn public works dept). The cop apologized and agreed with me about the tree. I paid my fine and they let my truck down on the spot.
Anyway, what would happen if someone tried to tow an Elise? I would think they would do MAJOR damage. No tow points, low ground clearance front and back, and a delicate suspension, Anyone have any idea how they would try to snatch it? Do tow truck drivers generally stay away from rare/exotic cars to limit their liability?
I know, the best answer is to avoid being a dumbass and don't park illegally in the first place. I agree, anyone that knowingly parks illegally deserves to get towed. But in a situation like mine, it would have sucked to have the Elise trashed. Max.
