AAA Groundhog Towing Fraud, perjury, intent to destroy Punxsutawney Pennsylvania
The story of my heading back home.
So I make it to Ohio. The engine starts failing. So I turned it around and started heading to Penn. I was limping her to where we had stayed the night before, Dubois, Penn. The car was smoking. A AAA tow truck pulled up beside us and motioned us to pull over, His name is Kieth Headlee. He said that the engine was smoking. I said, "No Kidding." He talked me into leaving US 80 and follow him. He inticed me by telling me that he was a mustang guy and had a mechanic that ...could fix it. If not he offered to give me a deal to tow it home if it could not be fixed. I asked him to load the car, so it didn't do any moe damage to my engine, he said that he couldn't and it was not far, so I should just follow him. I followed him.
He took us deep into the mountains. Up and down huge hill. But that wasn't bad enough. Every hill that he came to, he would brake going UP hills to slow my momentum, as if he was trying to blow my engine. This happened on every hill. I did not stress my engine, I would not let it go above 2,000 rpm's. Which meant that I was moving at about 15 MPH by the time I got to the top of each hill. After hapeening 3 times. I started giving my self lots of room form him. I actually stopped a few times to let him climb the hill before making the attempt. Taht woked for 3 hills. Then He caught on. The next hill, he started his antics all over again. I wanted to kill this guy. But by this time we were so far off track, I had to continue.
He brought us to Punxsutawney, PA. Eleation 1,300 ft. by way of hills that were 15 degree climbs. We probably crossed 20 hills. The car made it, which surprised the tow truck driver. I wanted to punch him in the face when we fiannly arrived at a flea bag hotel that he lead us to.
Side note; when we exited US 80, he stopped to fill up. I asked him how far, he said that it was closer than Dubois. He may or may not have been correct, but it was a very small difference in distance. However, US 80 did not have hills that were so high to cross. He knew exactly what he was doing. He had us stuck there for 2 days.
Friday morning the rain was just a drizzle, so I removed the head. The #6 exhaust valve was nicked. I could not get a new one for 4 days. So I called the tow truck driver who had offered me a deal towing it home. It was then that he gave me a quote for over a thousand dollrs to get her home.
I rented a U-Haul and car carrier at a cost of $750 and brought her home myself. This was our plan from the beginning. Make it to Dubois, rent a U-Haul and bring her home. He talked me out of that. In the end, I had more mileage charges driving from Punxsutawney.
DO NOT TRUST ANYONE!
