The days of towing a vehicle with a tow hook are long past, nowadays they use a wheel lift and pick the vehicle up that way. For this particular eyesore a flatbed truck would be used, that is if the tow truck driver cared about not causing damage to it. I've seen a few tow truck driver who are less than careful in how they manhandle someones vehicle.

I'm aware of the wheel lift, but I don't think a wheel lift can extend that far.... And lifting using the back wheels will only snap off that front bumper like a toothpick.
So yes, I agree, Flatbed Truck.

That thing is awesome. I wonder if I can get one based on the ZX-14...

Personally I prefer flat-bed tow trucks. Actually I require them since my car is AWD and having only the front lifted aint a good idea.
