My car got towed on Saturday and since then I have noticed a more than normal vibration coming from the accelerator peddle. At one point after driving I felt a slight tingling sensation in my right foot caused by the peddle. Granted, I do need to change my rotors and do an alignment but I feel the vibration might be from something else caused by the towing. Then again I could just be paranoid
One good thing is that it looks like my car was hooked up by the rear wheels so I don't think there is any damage to the driveshaft.
Are there any common problems caused by towing a Z? What signs should I look out for? Should I have her checked out? Thanks for the help.

My car got towed because I parking in a "customers only" parking lot, so I had no choice in what type of tow truck was used to tow my car. I know it wasn't a flatbed because I saw the tow truck guy come back to tow more cars. He must have towed at least 15 cars that night. Anyway, I would appreciate it if anybody has any suggestions as to what I can do or check to determine the source of the vibration. Thanks.

If you leave your brake on they will just drag your car out of the spot anyway. I have seen alot of cars f'd up by tow trucks. I watched them move cars around at an impound with a big forklift too. Some poor Subaru WRX had it's sideskirts destroyed before my very eyes.
