It's amazing how lobbying power towing companies have for being run by people that make pawnshops look like fine upstanding members of the polite business community.

I don't know if they finally fixed it but there was a towing company in Dallas, so one of the largest US cities, which was basically a straight up criminal enterprise that would get it's towing license revoked for doing crimes after months of legal process, and then immediately get a new towing license under a new LLC because they was nothing stopping them from just getting a new one after their old one was pulled for illegal poo poo which would start the same process over again.

Don't forget the additional fun of:

*Towing company flattened your tire/bent your rim/tore your entire exhaust system off in impounding your car - not their problem, legally speaking.

lots of real things posted in this thread

lol a few hundred bucks won't get you poo poo. A loving 1991 Honda Civic that starts and maybe runs is gonna be more than a few hundred bucks, probably closer to $1000. Then you have to worry about all the stupid rigged up poo poo the previous 15 owners did to keep it going and then you have to take your kids to school but the relay from the battery to the alternator back to the battery then to the AC vent panel (but no AC) to a ground underneath the fuel pump cuts out and welp

no ac no deal
