My car has been towed a couple of times. First time, I blew an exhaust gasket but it sounded more like a broken rocker arm. Second time, I limped home about 2 miles after the telltale "white cloud of smoke" appeared. I put the car on a flatbed and had it towed to a shop about 35 miles away. Luckily, it was just a blown intake manifold gasket and it was covered under warranty by Roush.

One of the local guys told me, that if you need a tow, tell the dispatcher that it's a 65 Lamborghini..."very low and very expensive/rare...send your most experienced tow truck driver."

When they show up and ask where the Lamborghini is, just shrug and say that you don't know what they're talking about...I got my 65 Cobra replica over here.
