Talk about furious, I called to have my car reported stolen and that's when I found out... the 911 operator told me it had been towed and where to pick it up. For the OP I live in Glendale and they towed it to MESA!!

$300 later I picked it up, but it was luckily scratch free.

That's crappy man, that is a LONG drive! I am out in Surprise. You're lucky they didn't damage anything, I'm surprised dragging it didn't cause any scrapes to your front lip!

I had my 350z towed and the tow truck the insurance company sent out would not even attempt to tow it after seeing I was lowered. I went home and googled companies that can tow exotic sports cars. The next day the guy asked if I had a tow hook, then placed wooden planks in front of my wheels and towed my car without any problems. Not every tow company is used to towing a lowered car.

We'll have to meet up sometime and trash talk the towing companies here.

Definitely man! As soon as my car is out of the shop we should get together! Is there any Z/G meets that you attend in the area?

The only real 'meet' in Phoenix is the Pavilions Meet at Indian Bend and the 101. But it's ALL cars, not a Z/G meet. As far as Z/G's go, there isn't really an organized meet in Phoenix. Tried to get one going to even include the Tuscon guys, but no one wanted to go for it.
