I was driving back from a great Memorial day weekend when I decided to hit this giant piece of metal in the road! It looked like a 2 X 4 and was a bit jagged and about three feet long. Long story short, I spent the night in a Red Carpet Inn (not recommended), took the car to the local tire shop to find out my passenger side front and back tires are not only flat, but also need new rims. I had them tow me back home which was about 120 miles, and now the car is in the shop and getting fixed back up.... Just felt like venting a bit and sharing some great times.

 

Keep your head up, it could always be worse (you are drinving an XF, afterall)

 

Thank goodness you did not have any body damage!!

 

so what was the towing bill ??? My son had his trana am towed 3-4 miles cost him $88 !!!!!!!!! my insurance pays up to $120 thank God !!!!!!!!!

 

The total for the towing was $385 which was a good price. I called 4 towing companies nearby..... Then this last weekend I lost my wallet! Yes! Things are going great!

 

sorry for your troubles....unexpected things in life seems to creep in once in awhile. Has to get better before it gets worster...hopefully for the good.

 

It could have been worse (such as crashing the car due to the tires going). I ran over a rather large bolt (didn't see it) last December and I had to get the tire replaced (I'm thankful that I bought the tire hazard warranty this time).

 

AAA costs about 80$ ayr and you get 5 tows up to 100miles inc. you also get fuel service lockout and discounts everywere. never leave home without it!
