White GTR towed on Robson
 
Saw this when I was on break at work.

Feel bad for the guy because the tow truck guy looked like he was having a hard time jimmying open the door. It would suck if he damaged the car trying to get the door open because the tow truck guy looked like he didn't know what he was doing, and I managed to snap off like 3 pictures while a crowd of ~8 people formed around to watch.

But then again there was a patty wagon in front of the car so maybe he did something bad?

1990TSI 03-17-2009 06:04 PM

shouldn't that be on a flat bed?

Menthe 03-17-2009 06:04 PM

that will damage the r35's drivetrain... idiot tow trucker guy don't know gtr is awd.. where are the front dolleys.?
tow truck companies can't tow cars right. I have witnessed idiot towing away a 350z from a no park zone in front of an apartment. the tow guy was so rushed that he put a dozen scratch marks on the Z, then didn't even release parking brakes nor ebrakes. dumbass owner + tow guy

keifun 03-17-2009 06:12 PM

ouch...there goes the drivetrain...!

poor GT-R

BabyblooLexus 03-17-2009 06:18 PM

awww shit, hurts to see =(
too sexy to get towed

1990TSI 03-17-2009 06:23 PM

at least you have photo evidence if the guys car gets fucked up!

that might be worth some serious coin to the owner! did you get the plate?!

mmmk 03-17-2009 06:34 PM

probably parked there after 3pm?

Great68 03-17-2009 06:37 PM

Fuck I hate tow truck drivers.

Is there anything that can be done to a car so doors can't be jimmied open?

Wykydtron 03-17-2009 06:41 PM

How do you guys know that he drove away without putting the dolleys on the front?

R8 03-17-2009 06:42 PM

front lip scraping.......... omg. the pain....

and i agree, these pics can be used by the owner to like, sue the company if anything happens to the drivetrain ;) contact the owner!

But couldnt whoever just turn around say "hey, ya shouldnt have parked there then!"

Jackygor 03-17-2009 06:44 PM

GG to the AWD system. It is all AWD owner's nightmare to get towed without a flatbed

jack_dangerous 03-17-2009 06:47 PM

You think he cares? Do you think he's a car enthusiast?
He's just doing his job. Don't be harping on the guy making a living, blame the
douche who got towed for parking illegally.

Harvey Specter 03-17-2009 06:55 PM

I'll laugh if it was a Repo.

jing 03-17-2009 06:57 PM

Maybe the owner put diesel in it again.

Uh, his job requires dilligence in making sure the cars he tows aren't subject to unwarranted damage.

Just because someone is parked illegally doesn't mean their car is open season to damage from carelessness.

Tow truck drivers are usually on the low side of the intelligence spectrum... Right along with drywallers and painters...

wow that is one hot color for gtr

cococly 03-17-2009 07:29 PM

It should have started the alarm on the GTR??? or he somehow disabled it?

Compared to UBC, they put trolleys on a RWD E46 BMW 320i...

It is the 3rd BMW I saw that got towed at UBC..

just out of curiosity is it possible to make a car untowable?

kumbo1 03-17-2009 07:41 PM

Yes, it is....My buddies minitruck with bagged suspension had the frame sitting right on the ground. There was a ticket and tow placed on the window for expired time. Truck just sat there.
