My mouth dropped open because I thought it would end when they did that first bit of damage to the bumper... But, No....

I could swear that right after the one kid says "Stop, stop, stop" You hear "Oh, My father's car!" :cry: :shock: :oops:

And if they had pulled to the left they would have cleared the snow bank that they actually puled the car into and made it worse! :roll:

Looks just like the rental car on my CarDomain page! :wink:

Yep...There were how many guys? 4? They could have dug out behind it a bit and pulled from the other side. Oh... and attaching it to the frame would have helped too! :oops:

I wouldnt call them dumb. They were using a tow point on the back of the car, most small cars will have them. The only problem there was it wasnt strong enough for what they were using it for. :wink:

they definitely were NOT using a tow point that cars have. Those things are STILL attached to the frame just like our Jeeps' hooks are. That dude hooked to a plastic panel on the bumper and pulled the whole thing off.

It pulled the tow point off of the frame. I can run out and take a pic of my moms car that has a tow point in the exact same spot if you would like. :wink: Ill hook my jeep up to it and pull the thing if you would like. :lol: JK.

Somewhere there is a parts counter guy just laughing away with the cha-ching sound going through their mind.

Stupid always costs, but at least it is only money in this example.
