When cars encounter predators they cannot outrun in the wild, they sometimes shed a tire and maybe an axle to distract their enemy. Don't worry, I believe they grow back in time.

I assure you, most vehicles have 3 more just like it; built in redundancy. It'll be fine!

It was stuck and the tow truck driver ran out of fucks to give that day.

Tow truck drivers have an abnormally low number of fucks to give on a good day so this tracks.

ZC3rr0r ,

A tow truck driver once decided for me that a failed hood release latch on the side of the highway wasn't an issue that needed towing (he flat out refused to tow my car even though I specifically called them to tow my vehicle, and asked him to tow it to the nearest dealer).

He "fixed" it by cutting a bunch of holes into my bumper to attach zip ties through and then ducttaping the remaining gap closed. His genius solution made a 100 or so dollar repair (that would've been covered under warranty as I learned later) a several thousand dollar repair that required a new front bumper, new grille, and a bunch of paintwork. And a new hood latch of course.

Zero fucks to give seems generous in my experience.

Dudewitbow ,

hard to not understand given the highway is the most dangerous place for a tow truck to be at (youd be suprised how common it is for a negligent driver kills a tow truck driver numbers speaking on a highway). they want to get out of there ASAP

They probably had two & decided that's one too many.

Can you find a bell jar or large glass bowl to cover it during an adjustment period?
