So much for the underbody panels, eh? Are they carbon-fibre on the GT?

If any of you have had the misfortune to require a tow, did you have to tell the wrecker driver that your Cayman is REAR WHEEL drive? And that you really really required a flatbed?

Worst personal experience was my 1st Volvo (1992 940 Turbo). Someone stole all 4 wheels, but nice enough to leave car up on wooden blocks, found all 20 lug nuts scattered across lawn. Wrecker driver jerk was in such hurry to see girlfriend in Galveston he did not stop to get spare wheels from dealer - DRAGGED the car up onto flatbed! Bent dust shields behind all 4 brakes, cracked radiator, tore up bottom of front spoiler. He cost his company thousands $$$.

Isn't this the truth. As painful as that was to watch, I just can't help but think that the guy that owns the GT was asking for the damage he got.
