My S was just towed away across the Bronx by some senseless person who doesn't realize the damage that can / probably will result from a 'sling' and drag' tow.

- What kind of damage should I look for when I pick-up the car?
- Should I have it flat-beded to a shop for careful inspection? Dare I trust a dealer?
- Should I attempt to drive the car?
- Has anyone experienced this and can comment on the effects of beoing towed improperly?

Thanks everyone for your input - this is really disturbing and I can use some re-assuring.

 

bumpers...

 

Shouldn't have parked it illegally, heh.

Check the exhaust tips, the front lip, and bumper, that's basically it, right?

 

Parked in a private paid spot in a private lot - owner of lot didn't register w/ Tow Co.
Worried about front end, rear diff if towed from front...

 

not too sure there is any reassuring....you should ALWAYS flatbet the S2000....you risk damaging your bodywork and more importantly the LSD.

 

damn that sucks! i would take it to a shop to check for all damages.. i would also think alignment could be off a little couldnt it?

hope everything turns out ok,

Funny you should mention that - I'm digging through my records for the printout of my UK alignment specs...
Thanks all for responding - the sting is wearing off - tomorrow the real pain starts.
