Was driving to va from oh when I pulled off to get gas and food. I tried to pull into a parking spot but couldn't turn lef without a struggle. I ended up having to stay overnight in a disgusting motel and have a friend drive 3 hours to pick me up then drive back because a new rack won't be in for a few days. Now I can't get the car until Friday because I have no way of getting out there to pick up my car until then.
