Good Sam Club (another rip-off)

Doesn’t surprise me.

I spent hours on the side of an Interstate shivering with the DW and dog in a snow storm on Presidents Day weekend a couple years back, thankfully we managed to limp into a pullout, waiting for a GS RS tow truck. When a truck stopped by after 2 hours the driver openly admitted that they weren’t going to take a “deeply discounted fee” when they couldn’t keep up with customers willing to pay the full pop, but were we running out of gas or anything? I replied that we were out of propane and almost out of gasoline (below genny cutoff point) but couldn’t run the chassis engine because we had lost a trans. cooling line and had lost too much fluid. He apologized that he only had 5 gallons and that wouldn’t get us above cutoff point so I said it was better he save it for someone that could use it.

After a few more hours the storm broke and somebody arrived to tow us the 40’ish miles into town. Except the driver was too tired (or lazy) to drop the driveshaft so (unknown to me, he lied) he towed it at highway speed, with the driveshaft in place and the trans critically low on fluid.

It cost me $5k for a rebuilt transmission torn up by the tow, a couple nights in a hotel, a weeks car rental while my trans was rebuilt unnecessarily, and a 600 mile return trip back there a week later to return the rental car and pick up my unit.

But hey, they did say “I do apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced”.

That’s worth something? Right?
