Jesus, that's just about the worst place in America. I'd imagine the only person you could trust would be you, and even that's suspect.

I cant even deny this. Carl google a euro specialisation mech for the area your stuck at and just pray they dont try to violate you.

Where is that? I'm in south jersey right now. Could help out if there was a place to get parts.

It's North about 15 min from the airport. I was on my way to Bimmerfest and it broke down on me. Lucky for me i was not far from my aunt house. Im stuck to a last resort of just towing it all the way back to Long Island SMH

PM me your number. I know a guy......
If the car can stay there for a week (I think there's a blackout period), you can sign up for AAA's $81 package that includes 4 100 mile tows a year, which should get you to most of Long Island.

Im with AAA Premier it cost me $120 a year for me and my wife. I get 4 service calls and she get 4, so 8 between the two of us with one 200mile tow. Saved us many times!
The way i look at it that's easily the cost of one tow, plus it goes where you go. If you break down while with friends or family you can use it to have their car towed.

Just don't use it too much.. I had it and two years in a row I ended up needed all 4 tows. The third year I was told they weren't allowing me to renew because I used the service too much. Grrr.

Ive never ran into that problem. They have actaully let me use family members tows if i needed.

Yeah, seriously. I've used every tow in a year a couple years running, never had a single issue.
