| White GTR towed on Robson
Saw this when I was on break at work.
Feel bad for the guy because the tow truck guy looked like he was having a hard time jimmying open the door. It would suck if he damaged the car trying to get the door open because the tow truck guy looked like he didn't know what he was doing, and I managed to snap off like 3 pictures while a crowd of ~8 people formed around to watch.
But then again there was a patty wagon in front of the car so maybe he did something bad?   |

that will damage the r35's drivetrain... idiot tow trucker guy don't know gtr is awd.. where are the front dolleys.?
tow truck companies can't tow cars right. I have witnessed idiot towing away a 350z from a no park zone in front of an apartment. the tow guy was so rushed that he put a dozen scratch marks on the Z, then didn't even release parking brakes nor ebrakes. dumbass owner + tow guy

He's just doing his job. Don't be harping on the guy making a living, blame the
douche who got towed for parking illegally.

Just because someone is parked illegally doesn't mean their car is open season to damage from carelessness.
Tow truck drivers are usually on the low side of the intelligence spectrum... Right along with drywallers and painters...

It should have started the alarm on the GTR??? or he somehow disabled it?
Compared to UBC, they put trolleys on a RWD E46 BMW 320i...
It is the 3rd BMW I saw that got towed at UBC..   | |
