Reason 8654 why I love living in Maine. [View all]

I was downtown and made a stop at a local convenience store. My electronic emergency break locked in "on" mode. Could not move. The dude in the store, said. "Mike across the street can help". So walked over to Mike's and he could tow my car for $75.00...right away. He towed it to my neighbor's auto shop - 1/3 mile from my place. He reset the code and the brake released. He said $25.00, I gave him $30.00.
