the temps went from 20 below to 52 yesterday. nice change from freezing but this morning, my car is up to it's floor boards in mud and I am stuck. I'm waiting for the only service station in town to open at 7:30 to get a pull out. their tow truck has a "24 hr serivce" on the door but they open at 7:30 so you can't get service before that. I think I will quiz them up on just what 24 hr service, but we open at 7:30 means...after they pull me out.

Haha, definitely after they get you out. Perhaps advertising 24 hour service in regards to three 8 hour days?

Most likely they are available 24 hours, but in case of emergencies, you'll be paying quite a bit more for them to have to get off of their butts outside of regular hours.

Good luck with the mud!

Wait till after they hand you a bill.
They will not refuse to pull you out over a little harassment.......how much they charge you is a different story.

Tip....
Wear something low cut, and smile alot. :clapping:

looks like my driveway!

well the tow truck shows up and lettered along the side is "23 1/2 hour towing service". 23 1/2????? I laughed at that as I don't think I have ever seen anything like that. welcome to small town living, just don't need servcie during that 1/2 hour or you are SOL. $25 bucks and I was back on the road. what a sucky way to start the day

They do 23 and a half hours because the liability insurance is about half of what it would be if they said they were 24 hours a day. Screwed up yes but a lot of the one or two truck companies and the old timers are all 23 1/2

Well, at least it made you smile after the first part of this little venture started out so yucky....... :wink:


To think I thought it was a sucky morning when at the bottom of my driveway at home the wind blew over our recyclable barrel and sh!t was everywhere and I spent 10 minutes retrieving it all. I feel much better now.

beautiful Enosburg Falls, about 10 miles from the Canadian border. the town is so small, I can see the station from my house so he only came like three houses away to pull me out.

John, love the cartoon! you didn't bury the car enough as I could hardly see the wheels.

I parked the car headed out so the front wheel drive part of the car is on the sidewalk...take that mud. I don't think there will be mud in the morning as the temps are dropping and I heard it will drop to about -5. ugh, there will be ice bergs instead of mud.
