I thought I would add a seasonal video to the site today in light of all the snow and ice we have been having here in the UK. I spent over an hour clearing the snow and ice off my drive the other day in order to avoid something like what happens in this video! I was going to put this in the cars category initially, but then I remembered that we setup a stupidity category especially for videos such as this!

The video features a group of guys trying to get a car out of very deep snow. How they got it into that situation is probably another story! They decide that instead of trying to dig it out, they are going to tow it out by attaching some cable to the back of the car and a pickup truck. This doesn’t initially sound like a bad idea, however they attach the cable to the cars bumper and pull it at a strange angle instead of a straight line. As they start to pull the car out of the snow, the bumper cracks (most modern cars use plastic for the bumpers, skirting and body kit) under the force! Most people would probably stop at this point, realising that this isn’t the best solution. However, they carry on and end up ripping off the whole back end of the car!

Now that kids, is how NOT to tow a car out of the snow.
