(It was about 11pm on Balestier Road)
–
I was witnessing one of the car tows that I was stuck in and it was really interested on how it manages to get your car going and secured.
A tow truck comes in, the guy smiles and you are (kinda screwed, as you know it), the reassuring smile is probably just a beginning of your nightmares of repair payments.
You fill in some details, and he says okay, your car is ready to get towed. You kinda look at him while he presses this button for the entire mini car crane to drop.
He hops in the car with your key and drives into the crane trap, your car is officially stripped from it’s freedom and it isn’t a sightly advertisement for everyone, as many people would just try to copy your car’s brand and model number to avoid it.
A joint is quickly fastened to prevent the wheel from dropping out by attaching a metal pole to the end of it.
The car is raised about 2 metres off the ground and you thought that it would be so cool that it looks some sort of like an unusable skateboard crap.
Delivering cars from point A to B is about speed, so this metal belt is needed to reinforce the wheel, if the car drops off in the middle of the expressway, its more than just killer litter, its a rocket hammering from the back of a recovery truck, something you would probably see in Mission Impossible, possible.
You car is officially stripped from the owner for the next few months.
