Yeah, tow truck technology, like everything else,
marches on.  I remember being awed when I first saw a
"side hooker" tow truck in NYC 25? yrs. ago.  I pulley
system down below the rear wheels that drags a car out
from the curb to hook up normally.  Flatbeds are wild
now.  I see straight jobs with 4 and 5 cars sometimes.
 The hydro plank up over the cab is really cool.
