Got a 2 hour drive on a flatbed in an hour... What do I do???

DEpointfive0 · 07-18-2013, 08:28 AM

UPDATE WITH CAR INFO:
So... Long story short(ER). They found a nut sitting on the intake valves of cylinder 6, causing the valve seat to be ******. No warranty because there ARE no nuts on the intake... So... I'm at a loss of $600 labor already, they pulled the motor and disconnected everything, then they bolted it back in just to save shop space.

IF they can JUST replace the valve head (because of VVEL they need to replace the whole head, not just a valve and a valve seat... POS) I'm out $1100 on labor, the valve head is like $1000-1100, plus (I assume) some other fees $300-400, so I'm out $2500-2600 all told and I keep my warranty. IF anything got stuck in the cylinder and scored the cylinder wall, I need a new engine... (Tech's said that they couldn't scope the cylinder because of VVEL... POS...)

So they're taking their time because they're cutting me a HELL of a deal on labor, and I told them to take all the time they need...

NOW, I'm 100% sure the dealership that had my car for 13 days with the laundry list of problems started to fix it, then I got into it with the dealershit guy, and they just tossed it back together...

Made it to the dealership in record time!!!

EDIT:
370Z MONSTER TRUCK!!! Screw your Honda pickup!!!

Like a high class redneck, Montecristo club (small cigars):

You're driving your $400,000 Rolls Royce yourself???
Like a peasant!!!

I got a driver AND I'm getting a BILLION MPG!!!

I'm towing my car to a dealership 2+ hours away

He's well over an hour late so we're going to RAPE traffic...

Now... Sit with the driver?... Or... Sit in the car with the windows down blasting music and smoking a nice Cuban cigar?...

mmmmmm I don't know but I don't like cigars in my car

just my 2 cents!!!! but if you like to smoke in your car, go in your car bro and have nice trip!!!!

Haboob · 07-18-2013, 08:41 AM

Voted cigars, but some bumps off of the steering wheel may be better...

Z370Z011 · 07-18-2013, 08:42 AM

I imagined the whole thing and it made me crack up, so I say the car haha.
Then take a pic and post it lol

enkei2k · 07-18-2013, 08:42 AM

cigar obviously. like a boss. b*tch, you're towing me like a horse drawn carriage.

ElVee · 07-18-2013, 09:10 AM

Can't say I've ever had them allow me to sit in the back with the car before.

I figured there'd be an option for rubbing one out while sittinng in the car. I wouldn't recommend with the driver, it could get awkward.

Mt Tam I am · 07-18-2013, 09:40 AM

My music or anothers?

Cigar.

I believe for legally reasons you're looking at having to Ride with the tow driver.

Tow truck drivers can be very entertaining if they don't talk too much

Chuck33079 · 07-18-2013, 10:04 AM

They can't tow a car with someone in it.
