yeah I should have taken that as a sign of something since I was the best man in that wedding and a couple years later the groom left his wife for my girlfriend who he was having an affair with..... what a trainwreck... In the end he did me a favor though

I don't know if u 2 pa guys are in the club yet or not so check it out. https://dodgeforum.com/forum/dodgefo...ruck-club.html

I'm the pres.
The tow bill cost was $150 or so according to my friend. The first tow truck that was coming out broke down so they had to send another one out for him and then the driver ran into problems hooking up my friends truck. We called the tow truck arond 11:30pm and didn't get home till almost 8am so the tow company gave my friend a discount.

I work for a Tow company here in TX one of my drivers had to go out this morning @ 3am. A Hummer got stuck so it called a friend in a jeep, he got stuck so they called a buddy with a jacked up Chevy 2500 well he got stuck so they called us and my guy pulled all 3 of them out $225 a pop. However they were pretty far from the road so it was a lot of work on his part my driver earned every penny.

The first truck got stuck @ 8pm they left the scene at 5am long night.

Except our wrecker looked like this:

Default The damage

It was the bearing,
It broke the steering knuckle, balljoints, brake hose, rotor, caliper, hub, and put a hole through my MB Rocker wheel, (which really sucks cause they don't make a matching one anymore)! Also trashed the tire that flew off which shashed into my rocker panel and door making it non-openable. I am not happy. But It could have been much worse. Thank God the flying wheel missed all the traffic, and some how I managed to keep it from rolling over.
But just because "It could of been worse" does not really help that much...IT STILL SUCKS
