Default Anyone towing a shelby gt500?

Had to use triple A today and the first tow truck that came had a nice ass shelby gt500 on it... is this anyone on here?

Why the fuck would they send a tow truck with a car on it? Had to wait 45 minutes for another one to come..

was it a blue one with white stripes on a roll back tow truck? if so that was probably my neighbor he blew out the rear end. its a factory five not an original but still bad ass none the less. blow built big block = rear end going byebye i think he'll be on his 4th or 5th rear end now.

He said GT500, not Cobra. I don't get why they sent you a truck with a car on it, but what happened to your car anyways that you needed one?

If it was a flat bed, its possible to tow two cars with it. my guess is they were going to put your car on the tail lift untill they saw it was an RX-7 and that wont work well... so then sent another one.

But if it was just the smaller unit with just the boom on the end they are stupid.

What happend to your car that caused it to need a tow?
