the guys on corner-carvers.com said it best.
Getting stuck in the snow: free
Getting a tow out by a freind: Free
Totaling your car and still having it stuck: PRICELESS! _________________

i is grate how none of them notised how it got hooked to the bumper. when they started out it looked like he hooked it to a control arm. when the bumper came off the car the buddy in the tryck should have kept going.
so it liiked like they are form the 51 state canadia or is that the 52 |

What the hell did they do... try to pull it out by the rear impact beam?
Morons... I guess that is what happens when the sidwayz hate krew tries to do something which requires a minor amount of automotive intelligence. _________________

no they dod not try to pull it by the rear impact beam the hook moves after the first try when it goes slack so when the truck takes offagain it is pulling on it ferther up(or back because it is the rear of the car). |

Have to set this download up for overnight...
But, I got stuck in a parking lot in Laramie in the snow in my 82 and a friend with a Dodge was like "Hey dude, I can pull you out.." so, I said, well, I don't need a hard tug, just ease on out and I'll be ok.
So, he gets under there, hooks it up and gets into his truck.. then takes off like a wild man. As soon as the tow strap goes tight my steering wheel spins all the way to lock. The moron hooked the strap to my tie rod and it looked like a V... I was driving it home (like a mile in town at about 20 mph) and smoke was boiling off the tire.
