Got my car towed today
 
so i got my car towed today on robson, the guy beside saw the buster's towing company towed by car baackwards. my car is FWD, yet he pulled from the rear dragging my front.

the car was in neutral with e-break on. now the question is would there be any damage towards the engine/transmission?? should i be concerned? no physical damage except my rear lip has a little bit chip on it and one of the bolt came out when i got there, towed roughly about 3-4km. IM just paranoid now thinking my car is fucked up. steering wheel feels weird but i think its just me. car is still center tho, would i need an alignment? cant believe the towing guy doesnt fucking know a RSX is a FWD. fucking dumbass shit

I don't think it matters if they towed it from the rear if it was in neutral. Now if it was in gear or in P or something, then yes, I would be very scared.

Mugen EvOlutioN 05-29-2009 09:09 PM

so it aint thatttt bad? guess i shouldnt be paranoid?


i was worried like shit, thinking my tranny was gonna be fucked

it was in neutral, no damage done, well to the trans anyways.

In neutral you should be fine.

If it were in gear, it would be pretty much GG.

Mugen EvOlutioN 05-29-2009 09:24 PM

wat else should i be worry?

That all your coins are still there.

But seriously, just do a visual and check everything. Even if you find something wrong/broken, the tow company isn't going to pay for it since you don't have proof they did it.

hmm.. i know this is stupid but if you get towed backwards does that roll ur ODO backwards?

that's what I was waiting for :)

johny 05-29-2009 11:16 PM

this is a good reason you should always park in gear... they would have had to pull out wheel dollys and lift all 4 off the ground..

ilvtofu 05-29-2009 11:22 PM

I wouldn't risk it like that though. Not like they get much of a bonus for lifting it like that

I don't get the logic of that though. Wouldn't that be the same as going in reverse?

so when you are reversing you car, do you feel like you are getting younger?
