Short story. Moving to the other side of Orlando. Have my ms3. Is complete, does not currently run. Won't likely do so easily due to bad gas. Moving almost exactly 40mi door to door. Jeeps got sketchy brakes or id tow dolly it. Any tow companies we trust? AAA? Admittedly I've never driven a trailer either ....
AAA probably the cheapest easiest unless a Florida member wants to help out
Rollback here for that mileage would be about 150
Either call a tow truck or rent a U-Haul.
What town are you moving to?
In reply to SKJSS (formerly Klayfish) :
Longwood. Northeast side of Orlando. There's a lot of stuff I like up there. Bike trails, bmx track, best wings in Orlando...
In reply to Dusterbd13-michael :
Yeah, truthfully I'm probably panicking for no reason. I actually found a tow company locally that has a rollback and clearly experience with low cars.
AAA. It seems that in Florida the Gold Package will cost you $111 and for that you can get 3 services with each service being a tow of up to 100 miles.
The car must have a valid plate on it but AAA has no way to verify of that plate belongs to that exact car. If annual vehicle inspection stickers are a thing where you live (they are not for me) then the car must be wearing a valid sticker. Generally, the car needs to sort of look like it belongs on the road.
There is likely a 3 day waiting period of signing up for service and actually calling for service.
Some samples of my creative use of the services in this thread
In reply to John Welsh :
Florida is inspection free. I can use the plate from my jeep.
Buy used rollback, tow cars across town, sell rollback to GRMer from the North, profit?
In reply to Mndsm :
How low is it?
In reply to Stampie :
Between two and three inches lower than stock.
I got a trailer ... it's decent on lowish cars. If you aren't afraid of using 2x wood to get it up on there I can come down.
In reply to Stampie :
I might take you up on that. I'm not askeered of wood- and I have a fairly impressive collection of bourbon.
In reply to Mndsm :
Not sure if the bourbon would be better before or after loading with a DD of course. Let me know. My number is F250 then 6003 of the Jacksonville code. Text normally best.
In reply to Stampie :
Will do. I still have some time before I need to pull this and a fairly decent window. This is the first time in almost 20 years I've moved voluntarily and without leaving most of my E36 M3 behind, and I'm not a fan- so it's sending me into a panic.
