    I would wait until it's late and then drive it into the truck stop or wherever you're trying to get to. To call a tow truck for seven or eight miles is just too much money for such a short distance

    In US$ came to 6700$. The repair was done in Winnipeg,MB at the Volvo dealer so I had to transform from CAN$ to US$.
