[V8] Moving my car?

[Ed Kellock]

Can it be driven at all?  It would make a better case if the car wasn't in
your driveway or on the street on which you live/lived.  

I dropped AAA recently because I haven't used them in 10 years, the price
went up, and the last time I did use them they towed my car and then refused
to cover the cost.  Bastards.

Then, a month or two after I let the membership go, I started getting voice
mails from them offering a special "don't lose it" offer.  Well I lost it...
about 10 seconds after I learned that the special offer would cost 50% more
than the yearly fee I had been paying.  Absolute scumbags nowadays.

(Cross posted to both Audi lists for best results ;-)


We moved . . . about 30 miles.

The V-8 decided to be balky (needs a radiator installed, and I simply didn't
have time to do it in 
the rest of the madness) and thus cannot be driven.

I do have "The Ultimate Classic Audi Owner's All Purpose Tool" - AAA plus,
which will tow (flatbed) 
the car something like 100 miles for free.

Someone on one of the lists said they did this - what's the correct
phraseology to get them to do 
this for free? I do NOT want to hear "Oh this tow doesn't qualify because it
is the third Thursday 
of the month and you owe us $7,589.65." or similar BS, so what do I tell
them and what do I keep my 
mouth shut about?

I know about flatbed required, the car is licensed and insured, it is just
sulking right now (or 
maybe it is simply pining for the fijords - do they have fijords in or near
Neckarsulm?)

Here's a hint - don't ever move. All the "stuff" I have had to be moved
(Cody Forbes has some idea 
of how much "stuff" that is, he's sen some of it), but the TOUGH part is
re-connecting driver's 
licenses, registrations, banking details, business licenses, Paypal, Amazon,
FAA stuff, credit card 
processors, professional licenses, I've been working on this for a solid two
weeks and I'm maybe 
half done!
