I'm pretty sure you guys have probably seen this video floating around i-club or nasioc, but I wanted to pass it along in case anyone hasn't seen it.

Oh man, I predict this video making me laugh my ass off for many, many moons. :lol:

The best part is, they spent more time strapping that truck to the car than it would have taken to finish shoveling it free. :P

DAMN! That ripped apart that car. They should have just dug it out. Oh well. :?

Why they were pulling in that direction from that corner in the first place is beyond me. Digging, or pulling it into the driveway to it's left would have been much better.

Simple physics says it was going to do exactly what it did, go higher into the snow bank.. And after it did the first time they pulle it even further up there before pulling the bumper off.

This is a clear example of why truck owners should not be allowed to own tow straps, chains or big ropes without passing a physics test.

Aside from the obvious "should just shoveled it out"... how about attaching the tow strap to the goddamn frame! There are tow hooks under there for a reason.

so funny lol

MikeSTI 2004-01-28 02:40 PM

it was film'ed all the more reason to think they got exactly what they wanted a busted up rear end :lol: :lol:

STIwish 2004-01-28 04:14 PM

Man, that thing got mangled... and they laughed about it the whole time... that poor Geo...

JoshmkII 2004-02-03 10:55 AM

yeah, if it wasn't done intentionally they have to be some of the dumbest people I've ever had the privilege to laugh at.
