Towing a stuck car (WITH VIDEO!!!)

by **starspangled6.0** on Mar 01 2012, 3:37am

We had a nice snow storm last night. While we were plowing one customer's driveway, one of his neighbors asked for help, since they got their Saturn stuck in their driveway :roll:

. I unfurled my tow strap for the first time this season, and yanked it free. The scary thing was, the car was right next to some power apparatus, and they told me if we ran it over, it would knock out power for the whole block. Check out how close we came:

Yeah, I was bummed that I wasn't able to flex the muscles though. Honestly, I barely felt the Saturn at all on the end of the strap.

If only it would have been a f**d. That would have been 10x better.

Did you have tire chains on your rig or do people get away with just studded tires usually up where you're at?

NICE!!! Last week I had to pull an F250(4x4) out of a snow filled ditch that he buried himself in. I kick myself now cause I should have video taped it!

Great Video this is the stuff i enjoy doing as well, and Nice Rig! Wish i had video'd my old jeep video pulling out a stuck hummer that happened to be a salesman showing off the H2's "offroad" capability. He was NOT happy and im sure he lost his sale when I rolled up with my 79 jeep and out did his hummer hands down in front of his clients and paid only 1/10th the cost for my rig!

Dang, that was by the skin on my teeth how close you got from hitting that thing. Don't those Saturns have that anti door dings? Regardless cool vid.

Studded tires and chains are for people who can't drive :lol:

! No one uses them around here. I've got some nice Michelin tires on my truck, and they do great in the snow. I can usually plow in 2WD, unless it's hilly, or when the snow is really heavy and wet.
