This morning I had to drive Jenni to work, and then return to the hacienda de junkyard, i.e. home. I too had to work, and did only half an hour late, but before I could earn money, I had to prepare to spend a lot more than my daily bread. What better way than to have two vehicles towed to my repair facility of choice; Downtown Car Care Center (ironically close to downtown Indy). The brakes being out on the convertible meant a tow was definitely in order, and the fact that the Dodge Ram was not starting got it a piggyback ride on an even bigger truck. Mike from ASAP Towing was the Transporter, but I didn't expect to see him in a BMW 850i, or a tricked out Audi S8, (that is a whole different Transporter).

The fact is, I totally expected to see what I saw, a big flatbed car carrier, with a tow brace on the back.
After the two v ehix were taken away I went to work, not long after I got there I called Bob at DCCC and explained what I wanted. Hours passed, customers and lunch came and went, and finally Bob called to say that the Car was going to need two brake lines replaced, brake system bleeding, and new valve cover gaskets: along with tow charge, around $650.00. Just about the same amount Friends of Chris West were trying to get from other friends of Chris West to get his fun summer scooter running. I haven't heard the list of problems on the truck yet or guessed at the price, I can't afford too much more, but necessity dictated that I get the two cars worked on now rather than later.

Baby you can drive my car, and baby I love you...
