I don't let any living thing stay in the car. For safety sake.

If something happens and I LOSE that car, I want only INANIMATE objects to suffer damage.

It's why we don't tow illegals with pets in them (but don't tell anyone that)

The only time I've ever been in a tow truck was the super fun time my car broke down on I-5 in Seattle. When we got off the highway onto side streets the driver told me the story of how his dog (which he used to bring with him on the job) got away and was hit by a car and ran over there (he was pointing out these landmarks as we drove) and he found it as it was dying. I still feel sorry for the dog, he showed me a picture. I think it was a black pug. I figure he'd let dogs ride up front.

...and of course that pesky "law" thing, right?

So what do you do in that case, call the police?

WAWA! that is all.

I used to think Fairfax County was in a neutral zone with neither Sheetz nor Wawa. The nearest Wawa was thirty minutes away by Manassas, and Sheetz was nowhere in evidence.

Imagine my surprise and delight when I found that there was a Wawa about five minutes from my house.

Neither of those around here, just Speedways, so I guess we are just Sheetz outta luck.

There's no law against towing a car with a dog in it, it specifically only forbids people, it's just our policy to not do it.

As a trucker, I've seen a fair number of "how can they legally drive a truck with only one steer axle?" drivers, and they're able to get into the cab of a big rig (would have no problem getting into a low-slung vehicle like an F-450). How can someone who fits into a minivan not be able to get into the passenger seat of your tow truck?

Booooooooooooo.

Of course everyone knows that Sheetz and Starbucks are the low-quality substitutes for people who don't have a Tim Horton's nearby.

The metric system is the tool of the devil! My car gets forty rods to the hogshead and that's the way I likes it.

You're getting LOUSY fuel economy, and you LIKE it? Assuming beer hogsheads (wine hogsheads are bigger), you're burning 432 gallons per mile.

On the other hand, get me a hogshead of forty rod...

Turtleguy grew up in Gloucester, and while WAWAs are in evidence in that area there are no Sheetz there that he's aware of, although he left the area in the 1980s.
