Well here in albany today we got less than an 1" of snow, there was atleast one accident on all 3 of the major interstates, and the best part, i slid sideways into a mailbox with rocks around it as a mount and broke my tie rod about a mile down the road. Its sucks because if it was anything else that broke i could have pushed her back to the garage instead of a 30 sec tow ride that costs $150. Even if i had made it out on the interstate, i'd be sitting there right now. First snow=chaos

they got him due to the weather. Suppy and demand, there was a LOT of demand for tow trucks that day and they could charge whatever they wanted.
