Me and my cousin were out at this really small trail, behind a middle-class development. This trail consisted of, a few bumps, dirt, and 3 decent sized mud puddles. We were riding in his Montero (pretty neat SUV... had standard electric locker!) But, for the heck of it, we would go back and hit the puddles from time to time. One time we went through, when we reached the last of the puddles, there was a MINI-VAN stuck in it!!! I guess the guy driving it was trying to show off for his kid or something?? but, he asked us if we could help him out... We didn't have a strap or anything, let alone, what do you hook to on a mini-van!? So, we told the guy "maybe". Ran back to my cousins house (which was just a block away) and couldn't find a strap, so we never went back...
Another time, my girlfriends car got stuck on flat, wet grass. Its a newer car... 05 (i think) chevy malibu. It has traction control, so, it wouldn't really do much. turned it off... ended up digging two nice ruts in the yard. Got 2 other guys to push while she tried driving it out... didn't budge. So, my uncle was there with his truck, had a chain. Things started looking good! but, i would love to see WHERE you hook to a car like that!? there was literally NOTHING. Some plastic... and, everything was so tightly fit, could not get the hook of the chains to fit between anything structural. got some more family members to kinda, rock it back and forth and eventually got her on her way. These newer cars really agitate me... They just don't make them like they used to. A towing point is kinda important in my mind on a vehicle.
