Just tow your car outside sounds like a recipe for losing half a day trying to organise that.
Additionally, even average cars these days tend to have removable towing eyes with easily damaged plastic blanking plugs. The chance of damaging an expensive car doing this seems very high. Especially trying to drag it out of an underground car park. If I owned a towing company I'd take a hard pass on that job.
- callamdelaney 6y agoI guess if you've got a Ferarri it's a problem for your PA.
- gambiting 6y agoLike I said in another comment - this just seems like a standard auto alarm trigger, most alarms will disable the car until they are reset. The only thing that makes it stand out here is that normally thanks to the mobile link Ferrari can reset it remotely. If it didn't have that the car would be equally "bricked" and it wouldn't be a story at all.
- sokoloff 6y agoExotics are towed all the time. Many exotic rental companies prefer to tow the car for every delivery and pickup. Many owners tow their cars to shows and rallies. (This all seems stupid to me, but I don't own an exotic, so maybe they know something I don't.)
- gambiting 6y agoYou're talking about towing on a trailer, which is indeed pretty common. Towing by the eyelet is not.
- sokoloff 6y agoThat's how they're winched onto the flatbed though anytime they're broken. The manufacturer provides that eyelet to prevent damage to suspension parts from using straps on a "bad" spot.
