wtf? lol.

arnt towing eyes attatched to the chassis of the car, rather than the bumper, so as to avoid this?? my vote is that its fake, i mean who'd video towing a car out of a snowdrift? the bumper looks dodgy with one of the earlier tow attempts, and it doenst take *that much* effort to pull a car out anyways... still funny thou

The towing eye is welded to the chassis. But, it would take that much effort to pull a ton of car through a pile of snow......

[XTR]

why didnt they dig the snow away from the car.... it would then have been possible to literally drive the car out then. rubbishrubbishrubbishrubbishrubbishrubbishs... fake imo!

Ive managed to pull the towing eye of a car before, luckilly it didnt take anything else with it, must have been badly welded. Best one was a friend trying to extract a tree stump using a 1970 swb landrover and a chain. He had the chain around the front of the chassie and bumper, ripped the lot off. He wasnt bothered couple of hours with a welder and £20 for the chassis part no problem, luckilly the chain was ok, we finished the job using a tirfor winch, possibly the best winch ever made.

Don't think it's fake.
If you look at the angle that the towing strap is on its pulling the bumper upwards and across, which explains why it rips half the rear trim out. You can also see the stub memeber of the chasis - the towing eye screws into that - the stub is probably only held in with a couple of spot welds. The snow doesn't look that deep but they've already dragged the car onto teh drift - so you've got compacted snow under the chassis of the car, as well as around the wheels. Also watch the tow rope - it goes slack then is suddenly jolted - suggesting the muppet in the pickup went for one of those "i'll pull it out" moments.

in short...... How NOT to pull a car out of a drift!

Looks real imo, the angle they try to pull it out from is totally wrong they just added to the problem.

OMG!

Are Americans born that dumb, or do they have special 'tard schools?
It's just a little worse than the South of England, where they can't handle a little snow either!

[Matthoulb]

Anyone got any more videos of stupid American's? I am getting a nice little collection forming

[Russ]

use a spade??

[Jiff Lemon]

use a spade??

Exactly! Take spade, hit americans across back of head with spade. Use spade to dig hole to hide the bodies.....

Could only happen in the USA
