Smile Got my S back!

I got my S back yesterday...drove all the way from Savannah GA yesterday but it was nice weather so I had the top down the whole way ...but I didn't get back till 11 at night and parked in the wrong garage spot...next day I came out...and the CAR'S GONE!!

So the towing company was explaining this system of using "dollys" or something since it is not a flatbed style truck and they can't roll it...were they just f**king ( ) with me?? It seems to drive fine although now I have noticed when I have no music on that the clutch makes a tiny squeak every time I push it in.

$120...what a waste of moneY!!!

On another note, I am looking to hanging out with you guys now that I have it back safe (hopefully) and sound (hopefully too)!

When that happened to me years ago, my diff went 6-12 months later. I don't know for sure that was the cause but I have my suspicions.

A lot.

I'm on my second S, I had to swap my diff out three weeks after purchasing it. Apparently the guy who traded it in didn't baby it at all.

someone should make a sticker for the tow hook that says

WARNING: this car MUST be towed on a flatbed!
all other forms of towing will result in significant damage to the car! WARNING

Or else you will be stabbed in the eye with an ice pick.

Oh dear God...this doesn't sound good...I think the guy was trying to tell me they put both all 4 wheels on dollies but who knows if they are bullshiting me...I am scared now...guess I have to wait a couple of months to see if the diff will go out before buying anything
