I myself do not see the issue but to each his own. I have been towed with much less. Used to get towed in the race cars and Karts with ropes so as long as one understands how it is done.......

I guess if one has the $100 to get towed 20 blocks vs a friend that will help ya out. When my GP lost the WP on the way to work I called. To go 3 miles by just calling a company it was $125. To have it towed by my son that had access to a rollback it was $40. To have a friend that had a clue how to tow with a strap was $0.

Just a thought.
