[Shotimes] towing question

[Dave Pillsbury]

Just call a local junkyard tell them it's a stretcher case no 
suspension. They are going to tell you "I'll come look at it" then when 
they get there they will say no way offer up 20 bucks and it will be 
GONE. Unless you know the tow driver and he just hooks it and drags it 
up like they did my Moonlight 94.
