I had 3 flatbeds in a 1 year, 3 month period on my TW:
-tow one after Matt Monson and I installed the replacement tranny(we didnt get the Torque Converter on right, and the seal was bad too). I did get it to the corner grocery store from his garage, This is after we put in the tranny........
-a week after i redid the above stuff, the connecter plug was loose, could not start car, coudlnt even turn key or put in neutral for flatbed.
-when the flexplate broke (relates to first above too) when we were trying to shove together tranny and engine, it probably cracked it then, then it broke in 2 pieces.

doesnt AAA have a four tow limit per year? I need to look up the contract for mine.

I'm pretty sure, my mom always gets me the AAA PLus for christmas, I think it's a 105mile one way towing

Once when my waterpump exploded driving along lake tahoe

Once when I ran into a curb and bent a control arm and wheel.

Also I got dragged out of the ditch once in high school. Ice + brake check + new driver.

sounds like a new thread, title something about how many motors have you gone through in one car.

gotta brag about something...

Probably about six times,

-wheel bearing got soo bad it disintegrated,
-Transmission locked in 3rd and reverse or something like that at the same time,
-Auto tranny was fubared when I first bought the car
-recent possible spun bearing
-another time when my friend threw a rod through the top of the engine.
-and towed the car to denver before I started doing my own mods on it.

There were probably more times but not from what I can think of at the moment.

twice.

1) bad timming belt

2) Fuel pump relay gave out

93forestpearl · Post by **93forestpearl** » Mon Oct 16, 2006 7:42 am

twice

Once for not paying attention and going in the ditch. Bent the control arm in front.

Again for hitting a deer at 100 mph. Bad deal.

snowboarded · Post by **snowboarded** » Sat Oct 21, 2006 4:34 am

once. didnt break down. got arrested on false charges, fought it in court all charges dropped, still had to pay to get it out of impound.

Towed? Never. Pulled out of sticky situations, then continuing normally however, thats another story:

I've been stuck in sugar sand nine times, stuck in thick mud twice, got stuck on a rut once... Somethings telling me I should swap my FWD wagon for an AWD.
