hehe, I had to have my Rabbit towed a while back... The AAA guy came and he 
had a hell of a time getting it hooked up. They sent one of those trucks with 
a sling, and those little things that hook up to the front wheels. The 
intercooler came really close to the support peice.....makes me kinda glad 
it's not as low as it used to be =) How long ago did this policy begin?
