Murphy's law struck me hard today!

After dropping the toddler off at pre-school, I get in my Saab and fire that baby up, and fire that baby up, and fire that baby up, and fire that &*%@#%$^$#@% SOB up... Well, you get the idea. Call for a tow truck from the best outfit in town. Hooked up all nice and snug to a "lift the front wheels off the ground" type truck.
On the way to the dealer the tow's hydralic lift mechanism experienced a catatrophic failure. While tooling along at 40 mph, BAM! the front end hits the ground. Skid marks on the pavement for 100+ feet. I'm thinking "Oh sh*t, that couldn't be good for the auto tranny!"
I haven't heard from the dealer yet, perhaps by lunch tomorrow. The service writer, trying to find a silver lining in a dark grey cloud, said "Maybe the repairs will cost the same as the tow." My immediate reply: ... "Yeah, FREE!" Man, that Murphy sure can bite hard!
