Any tips on towing the Satsuma?

[Vas]

I just spent 2 hours trying to figure out what's wrong with it and I finally gave up and wanted to just tow it over to Fleetari. Now I can't seem to find an effective way of towing the car without turning it into a mess. This game is unforgivable lol.

So anyone got any tips? I've tried normal ways using the rope but it destroys the car. I've also tried putting it on the back of the flatbed but I couldnt fit it on properly. Most effective thing I did was just carry it on the tractor's front hydraulics but then I dropped it on the highway and got completely wrecked by the bus so here I am looking for some tips.

ether avoid towing at all costs, or hurry up get it over with and cheat your car back to health. There is no "good" option.

Put the hand brake on,and dont drive to fast when towing.

Try towing it with second gear on. Works best.

You don't have gearbox istalled? You can put it into gear even with the engine turned off.
Anyway, what's the problem with your car? Maybe we can help.

It was working for some time then I realised that my coolant was leaking and thought I could make it home to see what the problem was, engine died right in front of my house and could never start again so I must have damaged it in some way. Not sure if I've lost any parts, I don't remember crashing anywhere but I still think it would be best just to try and tow it to the mechanic.

Yes, looks like you broke piston because of overheating. Only Fleetari can fix this.
Try getting in car, enter drive mode, shift it to 2nd gear (without starting it), get out and tow with Gifu.

when towing try and put the car right up to the van or sewer truck, like bumper to bumper, try that.

Thanks, gonna try this now.

Just remembered. You can take the engine out and take it to Fleetari by any other car.

Funny thing with Fleetari. I had him paint my car and wheels, but I had the performance wheels on my car. He painted my stock rims....which were sitting in my garage the while time.
This got me thinking....do you even need to bring the Satsuma to Fleetari to have it serviced? I never tried myself, but what if you just go to him, order service and not bring car?

Interesting thought, I will have to try this. I would report my findings but it's drinking night so I'll probably forget. But if so and I remember I think that should be fixed, I get taking parts to the garage but that's a bit nuts.

I just finished towing my car back from the "Pig" cabin XD
My Tips:
Remove rear bumper
Remove rear boot lid
Tow from the rear for a little bit more stability
Take the tractor, you can see behind you easily and you don't need to go fast
Give the rope about 1 foot of slack
Go slow

Worked like a charm for me. Now time for a re-build!
