Default Drive to dealer or call road assistance?

I pull out my drive way and immediately car starts to stutter. I cruise down about 3 houses and CEL comes flashing on. Looks like cp failure. Should I drive to my dealer which is about 15-20 mins. Or should I call a flatbed?

Default I drove myself yesterday after waiting two hours for the flatbed..

I waited over two hours for the flatbed. Finially I get a call from them saying that the driver could not get up my street because of the snow and he already sent the driver to another call. I told him I would meet him down on Broadway where the streets were already plowed. He tells me he already sent him and that now I would have to call roadside again to set up another request. I told them why the **** didn't you call me BEFORE you sent the driver away, I could have met him whereever he wanted to. After some choice words (told them they were ****en idiots) I just decided to drive the car myself.

About a 20 min drive no problems. Other than running with less power on 3 cylinders. The car still gets thru the snow though.

Default It's up to you. If you dont feel like waiting then drive it.

Only if you feel like its safe though. Stay away from highways just in case the car really dies and wont move at all.
