Well, after 6 months of sitting in my garage, my teg is finally gone.
So we finally found a place that would take it, so the next task was to find a place the would get it there. Cheapest I could fine just going through the yellow pages was $50. Then my dad thought about just calling up AAA since we are insured under them (the teg isn't of course). First we ask if they could tow it to this junkyard. They said they do not tow cars to junkyards.
Dad: "umm, they have a repair place there too."
AAA: "whats wrong with it?"
Dad: "umm won't start.
So The tow truck driver is on his cell phone, yelling at his provider (tMobile of course lol) walking towards my garage. As soon as he walks to the back yard and see's the car (my garage is in back) he stops talking on the phone, his jaw hits the floor and says "holy Shit"
This is why
Then he trys to manover his 21 foot Wrecker close to the garage. This basicly requires a huge truck to do a 90* turn, in reverse, with almost no room on either side to swing the front end around. Wasn't going to happen. Finally, we got a few jacks and lifted the teg at the front and rear points and started pushing...
Well, on the driver side, there is no suspension, no door, no fender, no nothing. On the passenger side, suspension, door, and fenders are still there. This made the car totally unballanced, so it cause the car to just tip. So, I had to hang from the sun roof opening and the door jam and ballance the car, while its moving.
heres a pic of that...
finally, after a bunch of work, we finally got it on the wrecker...
here is a few other pics...
Posted this before, thought it was worth posting again...
