We got towed by Lincoln 7 or 8 years ago, and I’ll never forget the experience. Coming back from some errands we decided to stop and grab some burgers, as it was getting dark. Didn’t see a sign. Ran in and out in about 12 minutes and our car was gone. A young couple was looking confused and distraught, because their car was gone too. We took pity and told them that we were going to grab a cab and that they could come with us. A $40 cab ride later we arrive at a chain link, barbed wire junkyard of a place many miles away on the far, far west side. A greasy slob of a massive guy behind barred windows, with a big gun in clear view and the ugliest damned big mongrel dog with rotting fangs, told us we owed $180. We weren’t going to argue with him. We paid and drove home, fuming and regretting the most expensive hamburger we’d ever gotten.

These guys have been around for decades and decades. I hope they rot.
