heh, okay then, just seems odd to me since if your getting your car towed you would already be ordering a flatbed. So the only real practical use for these would be if you were actually planing on doing alot of illegal parking and knew your car would sooner or later get towed while you werent around.
Soory, Im not trying to be a hater here, I actually really wanted to know if these were for novelty or if you guys really do enough illegal parking that you expect your car will get towed someday??

I've never had my car towed... but you never know when you might get towed if you park in a questionable spot in the city or something... I've seen my friends get towed (like at the rim of the world rally)... I've parked along side Mt Hamilton Road and have been almost towed while hiking... the only "no parking" sign was like a mile away... Lame.
So yeah... better be safe than sorry.

only saw the guy hooking up a car and didnt even realize it was an outback till after he was heading down the street, I would have said something if I put it together in time. From what I saw I honestly dont think the driver would have looked for or cared about an AWD sticker on the windshield. Would like to know exactly how liable a tow truck company is for this if your getting towed for parking illegaly, whoever has that Leg is probably screwed now
