Flat towing a car in the ice and snow makes my but pucker just thinking about it!!
Hey Barry we were probably too stupid to know any better........
.
One of us had to ride in the 55 and hold the steering. The rider would carry a flashlight to signal
if he needed to stop......
.
We went thru a toll gate on the NY Thruway and the collector asked if the 55 could run on its own.
I said no. He then said: "well if it won't you can't tow it on the highway, now let me ask you that question again."
I told him yes sir it will, he gave me two toll tickets and said get goin' as they were beginning to close the
thruway due to the storm.......
.
We made it to Syracuse late that afternoon as the thruway was closed and we holed up in a hotel.
Both cars were buried the next day and we had to dig 'em out.....
