Not good, how come they could not straighten the wheel and what did they use to tow it? bet it was going all over the place.

she lost it on a corner,hit the kerb and then it wouldn`t drive,i think she panicked and got one of her friends to drag her home.best of all her uncle`s a mechanic and could have probably got it rolling if she just dumped it at the side of the road. nuts
