    Short answer: Yup.

    Long answer: If they tow it ass-end in the air, you're ****ed.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    The towing guys would normally do a "heads-up" job, since they know that almost all vehicles now are front wheel drive. If the handbrake is engaged, expect it to be worn down to the rivets when you get your car back. Either way a vehicle being towed will suffer damage in one form or the other.

    Nga pala, towing guys only go for small fry. Case in point; here in Makati, in front of Apartment 1B is a no parking/waiting zone (red coloured sidewalk). Mr. Hotshot parks, calmly gets out of his Jaguar XJ and has lunch inside. Towing guys just passby and look the other way ..

    asar na asar yung manager kasi alanganin yung pag parada nung tsikot ng sis ko. yung towing hirap din hindi madeskartehan. sobrang hiya nung kapatid ko pero buti naabutan pa niya yung sasakyan.
    Nasiraan din kami dati ng sasakyan. Sa harap ng BSP sa roxas blvd. Nakiusap nalang kami sa guard na makikirap lang kami since sunday naman. Monday na namin napa-tow sa casa.

    Kailangan talaga super high end cars. Atleast 5series up. Pag LC, pajero, safari, it-tow parin nila yan

    luluwagan lang nila yung hand brake cable mo... meron adjustment yan sa ilalim.. kung naka 1st gear naman susungkitin lang nila yung shift stick mo.. ang mahirap yung A/T kasi naka park lock yun

Does this car deserve to be towed?
