is it a big deal? maybe not but I see no reason why AAA shouldn't and wouldn't take care of it...

I don't know why everyone rags on the OP.

If I had a regular cement driveway, cracked from old age and with grass poking through - I wouldn't care much. But if it were a nice driveway with granite bricks laid in a pattern - you bet I would be pissed. It's a bitch to clean the oil out and you are looking at replacing the portion of the driveway. That's some $$$ because of some random dickscarf who couldn't be bothered to fix a leak on his truck.

I have as 200ft Thassos White Marble driveway......never had issues with the marble...
 
OP if you would of "stood your ground" you should of had the balls to say something to the tow truck drivers face. But I guess it's alot easier to hit your keyboard and brag about your parents money.

Stood my ground ?
Had the balls to say something to him.

Why do you assume all this? I told him that it's not acceptable to have a container of oil leak and he appologized like 20 times. And what else should I have said to him ? I already explained that he did all he could with the kitty litter... You think I should have bellyached to him there to grab some degreaser from his dealership and come back....

What I did was the right thing.. I waited till the next morning till everything was dry and to assess how it looked. It's unacceptable, so I'm gonna call AAA. Probably tomorrow, too tired from work today.

One more thing...
DICKWAD, It's my money.

Let me explain...

I borrowed from my parents, all legit and paid them back.
Maybe that makes me a silver spooner, maybe not. I worked damn hard.

Read the fucking thread you dickwad.

Keep hating too.

Well.. since you live in a "half a million dollar home"

i assume you have these two things handy:

Pour some soap on the spill... scrub in with a brush... rinse off with water coming from hose.
 
Just leave it. It's a God damned driveway, for Christ's sake. It's not your $2300 solid oak dining table or something.
 
I think walmart gives out warranty's with their batteries too. I don't think there is any membership fees to shop at walmart either.
 
Come on, be a good sport. We're all waiting for the pics.

Everybody want to see the unacceptable oil stain.

please.
