From a gas station in Reno

[Diesel_brad]

It's about 100 miles from Reno to Auburn where I live, couldn't stomach the tow bill for that. Plus, I imagine they would've overcharged me anyway for driving over Donner summit.

I've been very fortunate to have been able to roadfix most of my things over the years (except the smoked benz motor, and towcat saved my ass on that one!)


I really think the caliper locked up when I came to a stoplight about 5 miles from the jobsite, some idiot tried to run the yellow light then locked em' up, I gave the pedal a good slam and stopped the truck no problem, but when I took off again it felt like something was a little out of whack.

AAA+ is a lil over $100 a year.

It is well worth it in my eyes, even if you never use it, it is piece of mind

I abuse the lockout service, I really need a hide a key

I love AAA+ - one tow pays for the entire year. I usually end up in the ditch at least once a year driving Tokyo drift style on the backroads I live on.

I love hearing stories about fixing things in a pinch.

My tie rod broke on a speed bump at school. BAcked it into a spot and put it on blocks. Sat there for two nights waiting for the new tie rod haha

Hey Sparkandfire, if it ever happens again up here just give me a shout and I'll try to lend you a hand. I'm usually floating around somewhere in northern Nevada.
