FML ... thanks to charlotte towing company

well i hope this in the right section ..

well short story i just moved down to north carolina and got into a apartment in charlotte , never been in a apartment complex sooo anyways i put my car on jack stands so i could get my wheels powder coated white or black , and when i was on my way home from the shop after a day of powder coating , i noticed the apartment complex towed my g35 without any wheels on it .. well i understood why they did it soo the 230.00 fee was something i could live with , but the next day when i got to the impound yard , i found my g35 half on stands , and the rear half laying on the ground , exhaust dug into the dirt , all the pressure on the diff and rotors , well sooo i had to jack it up myself , put my unfinished wheels on and left the yard , i got about a mile down the road and my car felt like it was not gear , like i was just free spinning , then catching causing my car to jerk back and forth so i pulled over quickly , check under and around , and opened the hood and the radiator was leaking all on the bottom , so right now my car is in the shop , waiting to hear whats all wrong with it , my insurance is handling the towing company for who is liable for the damages , but i think its my rear diff thats the problem and the radiator ... who knows but i want my car fixed ...they gave my a g6 as a rental wooooooo hoooo

but for now im just pissed the hell off , but hopeful things will go my way

here is some pics i took with my blackberry .. bc its all i had at the moment ... enjoy














i was wrong but atleast handle people's car with respect and have it returned the way they got it ..can i get a amen ?



also im thinking of doing white wheels or black .. rears were media blast so they look white ... soooo taking opinions on the red g35 with white oem 19s or do them in black like every car ... im leaning toward the white more then black .. to each its own ...




OHHHH yea spacers are on the way n yes i know my car needs to get lower lol
thanks

We do try our best to meet. Things end up falling through a lot though . We are having a meet September 19th here in Charlotte with the Z's and the weekend after that a Hooters meet in Raleigh. Also sometime soon we may have a spring install day for two of the guys. We also have an all car meet every Friday night at Bikini's in the University area all though it is starting to suck! You are more then welcome to come to any of these. Just hit me up for info

so they end up DRAGGING the car onto a flat bed in someway while the car was on jack stands? that is pretty f'ed up.

What was the reason for it being towed in the first place?

Wow, I can't believe that.... I'd say negative on the white wheels on a red car... Well I'd actually say no white wheels on any car unless you have a custom show car that is done up to make them look respectable.

There's a black G coupe for sale with the wheels done a custom gold color.... This may look a little too "bling" on a red G, but I definitely think it will look better then red.

If it were me I would just keep the OEM rays the color they are. They look sexy as is. Just my .02

$125 is a crazy deal for powder coating... What did you have to give to the girl to get that price!!!? For your sake, I hope she wasn't a whale....
