How not to tow a car....

Recommended Posts

I'm told by friends in Virginia that that's indicative of the bulk intelligence level of drivers from Maryland.... :D:D:D

I laughed so loud that my neighbor from next door came over to see what was up.... :D
So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!

It looked like to me that they attached the cable AROUND the bumper attachment to frame. That's why during one of the pulls, you can see the bumper plastic give way. Those bumpers are good for 5-10MPH hits, but I don't think they were made to tow with.


Yes, I used to work for U-Haul and install hitches for a living. ;)

ah, gotcha.

I know most cars (the little ones anyway) have a retrieval hook on the underside in the rear and I figured they may have been using that. I'd think something like that would be designed to handle the stress involved with pulling the car out of a tight spot.

of course, among the other things they were doing wrong, they were jerking at it, so that may have been their undoing.
