...The car had to be towed back to New York City.
I worked in the auto industry for many years, and for a small part of that time I was based in LA, where my employer maintained a large fleet of new vehicles for magazine reporters/product reviews, motion picture dignitaries and shoots, as well as various VIPs from the area, for public relations purposes.
