Morons. They should have pulled it the other way down the road and should have hooked onto the frame somewhere. We pull people out with the work truck all the time and we have never had any problems. Just need to THINK.

What I find amusing is Bob Lee's listed location. Do you SoCal guys even know what real snow even looks like? I'm not talking about the flakes of soap/squares of paper or the CG stuff in movies, but REAL snow? I jest, of course! While I'm sitting in -30C with snow and ice to scrape off the truck every morning you're probably sitting out by the pool havin' a BBQ and playin a round of golf

Do you realize how hard it is for some people to JUST THINK.

Yeah, that should have been a routine couple of seconds to tug it out of the snowbank and they turned it into a giant cluster you-know-what.

Sure was funny, though.

Who the hell uses a tow rope on the F-ing bumper of a car?

Idiots deserved it.

I didn't watch it but I'm assuming that It's the video of the guy getting his entire rear end of his car ripped off.

Classic.

I wonder if they collectively had a full brain among them. They didn't seem to realize that pulling the car along the top of the snowbank was at best a poor strategy.

They appeared to be using the towing eye. If they'd pulled the car straight out, that would've worked.

Golf is the game with the little ball and the windmill and bridges and dinosaurs, right?

Hahaha, I love that vid.

Last week my car was frozen to the ground so I used a propane torch to melt the snow/ice holding the car to the the ground, and then heated up the oil by holding it under the oil pan for a bit. It was -32c, and the oil was thicker than molasses

Woops! Wow, that would be so frustrating.

I was helping a guy in a Ford Ranger who was stuck in the intersection in front of my parents house the other day. The whole area was super icy and mushy with slush. As I was pushing him, he was totally mashing down on the gas pedal. I told him to ease up on the gas pedal since when he finally does grab some pavement, he may take off out of control. I finally pushed him to a spot with better traction, he floored it, and off he went into the steep ditch on the other side of the road from my parents house. Poor guy.
