Default Getting towed

Gonna have to get the GS towed in. Any advice in case the tow truck driver has never towed a Vette?

Use a flatbed wrecker service. if they don't have extra ramps to get it up on the bed, use a 2 by 10 board. Put the chain tie downs in the puck holes or use straps around the tires.
Had to have mine towed to the dealer when the clutch master cylinder went out....

Sorry about the photos...everytime I try to put one on here, they end up coming out upside down for some reason.

It looks like the law of gravity only exists where the OP lives!
