Beware. It's 14 mb. But it's worth the wait if you have a slow connection. Believe me!
http://s93358270.onlinehome.us/tonycar.wmv I'd love to hear everyone's comments on what happened. I'll save mine until later. Above link died. Here's some others. http://rosbif.free.fr/tonycar.wmv http://sa.nextwish.org/Video/tonycar.wmv

Morons. Why didn't they dig the car out first? I live where it never snows, but even I would try to dig the car out before having "my homeys" yank it out with a bungee cord or whatever...

Lesson #475
You should always attach the tow strap to your vehicle to be towed. Lesson #476 Always let the owner of a car you are towing attach the tow rope to his vehicle. (See above) Lesson#477 An aftermarket Jeep tube bumper improperly installed can travel over 50 feet thru the air when snatch strapped for vehicle "removal" from being stuck in the mud. Ask me how I know.

I thought the Geo was going to get pulled up on the snowbank and flip over.
But the bumper thing was EVEN BETTER!

Here's my take on the stupidity.
I agree the dudes are pretty @#$%in' dumb. Like dd74 said, why not just dig the car out? Duh. Okay. They decide to get all smartzed up and tow it out. Well, it does appear the kid chose a decent (i'll get back to this) location since the car got pulled pretty good before it got stuck worse. Now, don't you think that when you start pulling the car and it begins to go in a direction pretty much OPPOSITE of where you want it to go, you'd either move the tow vehicle to pull at a different angle or you'd reattach the tow strap in another place so as to pull the car in the desired direction? Double duh. Any kid with an ounce of brain would have stopped towing (and resorted to shoveling) after the first time the strap crunched the plastic bumper cap a little bit Back to the place he hooked it up. I'm guessing that spot he chose was a subframe that's bonded to the main chassis of the car? Because it held up pretty good until it finally let go. Look at the picture of the hunk of car on the ground. Looks like that hunk of sheet metal was bonded with some sort of goo, no? No way that was welded. The sheetmetal would have torn, instead of coming off in one nice piece, if it was even spot welded. All of the above is really just curiosity on my part. I'm glad they're so stupid. If they weren't, we wouldn't have this "AWESOME!!!! TOTALLY AWESOME!!!!!" (another Jeff Spicoli quote) video to LOL about. What a great laugh. God bless you, you stupid dewds. You're gonna need it.......... ![]()

Oh yeah sub frame too - that's going to be expensive. It didn't look like it was stuck that bad at first - funny stuff Kevin!
