idk but i know when one tire loses power, they all do. now i dont know how that would work with both rears touching. if you had it in gear, which im assuming, your fronts should have been spinning with your rears, which in most cases, would make the car oush itself off the tow bars that go under the front tires. so they most likely used a flatbed

they sometimes put little wheels under your rear tires so it makes all 4 off the ground.

even if they didn't use a flat bed, any half-reputable towing company has dollies on all their tow trucks for this reason. depending on how far they towed it, i can't imagine it did too much damage. if you snapped an axle or destroyed the center diff you'd know it by now.

Yeah its either broke or it ain't. If its broke it won't move and if it moves it ain't broke.

At least you werent drunk enough to "park" it in someone's living room.
I hate Cali's laws with parking and everything. I lost my Bronco because of them.
