I'll try keep it short, cliffs at the bottom. I have a friend in the military who bought a new Evo X and he was out cruising with a slut who has been banging him because she likes his car. Somehow his oil cooler popped a hole in the end tank about 1/4" wide. The metal is spread outward as if it blew from the inside-out, but the pressure might do that regardless of what caused the hole.
So he pulls over and is losing oil like crazy through the blown oil cooler. The tow truck shows up and the driver does two things wrong: destroys his mirror with the tow bar and hooks up his car to a tow dolly with the car in gear. Maybe the tow truck driver doesn't know the car is AWD... well, he knows now. Since the car was low on oil to begin with it didn't take long for the engine to seize up during the tow back to his house.
From there it gets flat-bedded to the dealership who estimates the damage at $28,000 for driveline and engine damage. It's going to be totaled. LOL. Most of the damage will be covered by the tow company's insurance due to negligence.
Cliffs:
Hole in oil cooler
Towed back incorrectly with tires spinning the tranny, tranny spinning the engine, engine seizing
Now he gets to go car shopping. I'm trying to talk him into getting something cheaper that still has AWD and good power. Too bad the TPRC was sold, lol.

Got dayum. Im pissed and its not even my car.

holy fuck and i was nervious when i had my s2000 towed with anormal tow truck, i kept asking "can we just get a flat bed" but w/e
i would rage on the tow truck guy/company. but if it is getting paid for and there taking care of it. i guess w/e then right.

I think he was preoccupied by "WTF just happened" plus Asian slut on his balls. But, yes, I agree... lesson learned for him, lol.

I wonder what kind of damage he would have sustained if it were left in neutral, but still used the dolly style towing. Driveline, differential damage probably... engine would have been fine though lol.

oo shit i origanally just read the cliffs, he left the car in GEAR!
what a fuckin freshman, fist year and shit

it would prob be fine, the problem is with auto trans the fluid gets really hot because it doesn't circulate as far as the transmission goes.
but whatever clutch or whatever will get tore up with one set of tires spinning and the others not. i bet it would be smokin after a couple miles

You're right, it was smoking, but they assumed it was due to the leaking oil cooler, lol.

dont tell me they left it in first gear?
i imagine 45 mph in first gear would be spinning that motor quite fast

Not to mention a shitload of resistance to the tow truck. I'm not certain what gear it was left in.

Tow truck fucked up, so did he if he didn't know about towing AWD. As for the slut, If a hoe diggs you for some shit you own, you do her dirty, treat her like shit, and Fuck with her head, NEVER let her occupy your train of thought even when she is sucking on your boys. Sluts seem to hang around longer when you act like that as well, I guess its the Fucked in the Head syndrome many seem to have.

musta been some hackjob tow company. everytime ive ever needed a tow and its a car with an awd version they ask if its awd.
i was under the impression you cant tow an AWD unless all 4 tires were on the ground.

Funny thing is that...... This is true

It's not fucking hard to look underneath the car for a rear differential. You have to get down there to hook up the car anyways. I get a hook up from a Russian dude of mine, he only tows with his flatbed, so mistakes like this are always avoided. If I need to dolly my shit somewhere, I can borrow one for free.
