towing a 90 Quattro

[Joel A. Frahm]

Thanks for all the replies.  I'm not sure yet how to proceed.
Some background, for those who missed my first post:
The car is in Ouray, Colorado, 300 miles or seven hours away from me in
Boulder, CO. I slid off a trecherous mountain road and a rock damaged the
right front of the car.  The car was towed to a shop in Ouray and I
currently owe a towing bill of $75.  Storage will probably cost me nothing
as long as it's not sitting there too long.

The right front wheel is now pressed back against the wheelwell.  I
couldn't further examine the damage due to the dangerous situation on the
side of a narrow mountain road, and I had gotten a ride out of there
before the tow truck could get the car so I have not seen underneath.

My options at this point are:

Have a yard pick the car up
  I probably get nothing, maybe they pay my towing bill?

Go and get the car, take it to a yard myself

  No idea what I might get for it then, $250?  Probably not worth the
  trouble.

Get the car out of there, take some valuable parts off of it myself, junk
the rest.

  This would require more time, but I might get a few hundred for easy to
  remove items such as lights, seats, steering wheel, console,
  wheels/tires.  I could throw all thas crap in my van and haul it back
  home.  I would probably not get much for the body and driveline though,
  and I would need to get a decent amount for the parts I remove to make
  it worth the time and trouble.

The upside, at least, is that I can shop for another Q.  That's always
fun.

-Joel.
