Video Link of a snow recovery

Lets be careful pulling those little cars out that get stuck in the snow.

Now that is a bad day....

It peeled the bumper off like it was the skin off an orange.

Ouuch.

Not the sharpest pencils in the box.

That really does suck, They should have realized that they didn't have any idea as to what they were doing when they pulled the car up onto the snow bank instead of off in the first place. Natural selection i guess...
Thats still not as bad as the girls that decided it would be cool to wrap a tow strap around the windshield of a convertible bug to get a heep off a snow bank. Imagine if that tow strap broke... That would have been one hell of a :pat: in the face!

you have to love every second of that!!
so here is my new question... coming from a place where it rarely snows.... where do you attach your tow rope on a car that doesn't have hooks? (also, i know the basics, like not to use the metal hooks)... but where do you attach it ?? loop around the axle?? man.... how do you do it without breaking something?

that car did have tow hooks. they ripped it right off. look at the bumper laying on the ground. there's a U shaped part that looks like it stradles a round pole. then there's a piece on the right hand side of that and it's bent to the right. that's the tow hook.

haha the shovel is your friend

I can give it to you through AIM later if you want it.
