When you take into account:

1: Driving to location of the car
2: Time to hook up to the car
3: Time driving to new location
4: Time dropping car and stowing equipment
5: The price of the tow truck.
6: The price of gas
7: And of course, PROFIT....

Operating a tow truck is not cheap.
Alot of those costs can be written off when it comes time for the business to do it's taxes.

I just got my motorcycle license yesterday so im fully legal now and riding. What a joy, i thought a vert was wide open riding but when you pass a woody area and can smell the honeysuckles in the woods thats great, until you ride past a dead animal then it sux! We need to get another RX7 ride together and ride down route 5 again from richmond to charles city and ride the ferry like we did last time. Kinda miss the ole rex, she dont get much attention now days.

I'd be up for a cruise, hopefully on a relatively cool day though. I'm almost embarassed to drive mine anymore because the paint is getting so bad... but I'm saving up to make it nice and shiny again

I would be up for a drive sometime. Why don't we put a date out there, maybe July 10th. I would say sooner but that is the first weekend that I could do it. Also far enough out that everyone could mark their calendar now. I will put a post up in the NE section here and at the other forum to try to pull some new people in.

It should be noted that there is an AutoX at Manchester H.S. on the 10th.
It should be also noted after this Sunday's event there I might not go there ever again.

i was up there for about 15 minutes on the bike checking things out, and it seems like a REALLY tight course. i talked to one of my friends and he said he didnt like the course at all. lots of off camber turns and such...

It was not as bad as the first event there but it was still a bitch to follow, I wish they'd do something like the ACCA temple event in the way of design.

Sorry to hear that man, do you have the bill of sale?
Even if you part it out I'd still report the ******* to DMV and/or the cops.

Meh, my favorite is the full course, but it is usually cheaper to split up the track and just run the north course which has the majority of the fun parts anyway. Whatever, VIR = teh win

Couple of my buddies are going down there for the bike course, they have a instructor that teaches. They let you all go out on the course the first time, but no passing, then they let you go out and no passing in corners, then they finally let you out, and all goes. I have to get my bike back together before i can ride again, i need a radiator. I had to go back and read your post 1.1 about you going down on the bike, i went down last sunday (on my birthday), i was wearing my jacket and a pair of jeans luckily, if not i would have been fuked up. I suffered a little road rash along with a big *** bruise on my left hip, that hurts like hell!

Yeah the facility at VIR is awesome, but the track is so wide open...I wish there were more turns. With Grand East it was Full Course+Patriot course, which was awesome. I'm gonna hopefully run Summit in the near future. Mazda Drivers is doing shenendoah in September so I'll probably do that. Next trip to VIR for me is weekend after next for the full course. I'm gonna try to get some in car video then.
