It's not uncommon for repo guys to do a quick hook-up, and get a car around a corner before they do a full tow setup. Makes it less likely the repo guy will take fire while setting up the dolly's etc.

[QUOTE=brucelee;3119109]That's autos only I thought.[/QUOTE]

It's only old autos (not on the new cars), and it only works when the car is running - it closes a circuit that puts the center diff in a bypass mode by disengaging the clutches. It's only to be used for putting a spare on the rear of a 4EAT car and driving with proper fronts.

It also makes for mad burnouts. Or so i hear.

I got one of these on my window above vin# so that when the tow truck driver reads my vin they'll see this and hopefully not be a dumbsht[/QUOTE]

i thought all subarus had this? hmm...guess i learned something new...

[QUOTE=LOL VTEC;3118929]I learned the hard way, no. Not all towing companies take responsibility. When I got towed he ****ed my front bumper up and said "Opps, srry man" then made me pay before the car was off the truck. The paper I HAD to sign to get my car off the truck said in fine print "...we do NOt take responsibility for ANY damage" I have to find my copy so I can show you guys.[/QUOTE]

should have written "under duress" instead of signing or in addition to it... then sued the **** out of them.
