Stupid Tow Truck Drivers and 76 Station Workers

Today my mom and I had to go to California to pick up some stuff of mine from my grandma's house. It's about a 200 mile drive round trip. On the way there, the battery light on my mom's car came on. She thought nothing of it so we kept driving. We got to my grandma's house, loaded my stuff up and left. When we left the radio in the car started turning off, then coming on for about 5 seconds, then turning back off again. We just thought there was something wrong with the radio so we ignored it. We drove for about 40 miles then the car starts shifting weird and the speedometer starts freaking out, going from 0 to 60 over and over. Then it starts shifting weird and all the lights on the dash board come on. So we pulled off to the side of the road and my mom looks under the hood and there is a belt missing. We are in the middle of no-where and barely have sevice. We call my grandma and have her call a tow truck so we can get to a service station thats like 25 miles away. The tow truck comes within 30 minutes and takes us to a 76 Station so we can get the car fixed. Well, come to find out, we missed all of the micanics by like 15 minutes so they can't fix our car. The manager says that he can do it but doesn't feel like it. WTF!!! So the tow truck driver talks to my mom and she decides to stay at the service station because of the price of the tow. He gets out his payment processer thing and the price for towing our car and driving 25 miles is $360!!! $10 per mile and a $135 hook-up fee. My mom pays and calls my step dad to come get us and fix the car. So we get to wait 2 hours in the hot sun for him to show up. Worst day, but I had fun with my mom.
