I knew when I saw a gaggle of idiots, or is it a murder? herd? whatever you call a collection of itiots, armed with a towrope, a stuck car, a truck and 2 or 3 brain cells smimming between them fun would ensue.

WHy did they chose to do it the hard way anyway...They pulled it through the snow instead of out of it. ACtually, I'm glad they did it the hard/stupid way just for my entertainment. I just want to say 'thank you ' to those guys for making me feel smart for 5 minutes.

I think you forgot to mention the part where they snake it throughout the interior, suspension, and engine bay first.

Or wait a sec, did it break just because there was too much resistance from the snow?

too much resistance in the brains of the paticipants. Maybe the towhook snapped off and on the way out the strap's hook snagged the bumper. Or maybe it was because it was a Geo and when they get stuck they are to be abandoned like a half-empty Bic lighter.

if you watch closely, the tow hook didnt snap at all. It ripped the actual metal bumper and most of the rear structure of the car right off.

the original video is a little longer and shows a close up of the rear of the car afterwards. When they show the close up you can see that it pulled the entire rear sub-frame off of the car. Lotsa' rust. Funny video.
