Last weekend I pulled an 03-04 4wd silverado and his Sea-Doo up a sandy hill after he buried both axles. Trying to upload video from android, anyone know how??

Anyway, show and tell! Snow, sand, mud, or stupid. Whatever the situation, post it!!

I haven't done it with youtube but I believe if you download the photobucket app (free) you can upload videos and images directly to your photobucket acount but I've only done images so far.

i pulled a 240sx out of the ditch a couple weeks ago for him to blow his engine 10 minutes later and then i towed him 5 miles home through town.

in the winter i pulled my buddy's 4wd tercel wagon out of a snowy ditch with my tleg...and i was pointing uphill on snow.

Sweeet. Ive been pulled out plenty o' snowbanks but hey, noone can ever say that you didnt give it a go. Ive popped all 4 tires off the bead at once, and then got stuck sideways in the snowbank... not easy to do, trust me. In hopes of needing them, id brought another set along for the ride. The beach extraviganza last weekend was wild though... that was a 1st for me! -WagonMafia

I towed a 74 Ford Highboy on 35's that had ran out of gas on the side of I-5. He kept sayin it wouldn't work and that a Subaru is not powerful enough. lol. Well he noticed the Ford symbol hanging from my rear tow hook loop while I was hookin up the chains, and he laughed, till I pulled him up to 55mph for 12 miles to the nearest gas station. He was thankful, and shocked. I wish I could've got a picture of that:)

Subaru - 1
Ford - 0

I had to pull my craftsman 46" deck tripple can riding mower out of a fence and back up a small hill after I crashed it (found out the hard way the brakes no longer work at all) and pinned my leg between the fence and mower while the wheel was still spinning and it ripped my shoe off and ground a nice chunk of skin off the bottom of my foot. Subaru to the rescue though. Pulled it right out sideways up the hill.

I think I seen a picture you posted of that, I think. Or maybe it was someone's finger.

I also had to pull my gf's Imprezza out of a ditch casue she took a corner a little to fast in the snow. lol. She turned the wheel, and we continued to go straight:) We weren't going more then 15mph so it didn't do any damage, but her reaction was priceless.

The finger was mine after getting it pinched in the power seat belts and kimo put a picture of his foot up so it was both lol.

On topic, I haven't towed anything but I did push a Plymouth Acclaim up a hill, that thing was such a piece of junk. Last fall, I heard from the owner of the car and it caught fire so I guess I won't be pushing it again lol. There was something wrong with it to the extent of it almost dying under 20mph.

My '84 GL trashed an Acclaim/Sundance that cut across me in an intersection. Sent the rear bumper spinning, knocked her sideways, and bashed her rear quarter pretty well. A cracked parking light was all I got. I also used to use the big rubber overriders on the metal impact bumpers to push cars that took up two spots in Boston to make room for myself. I suppose that's pushing, not towing, but I'm not nice enough/haven't encountered a hot enough chick in distress to try towing.

You pushed people's cars out of the way and then parked next to them? That's ballsy right there. One time I went to the post office and mailed something and came back out and some dumb broad had parked her SUV about 4 inches from my driver's side. I had to get in my car from the passenger side! Should have bashed my car door into hers but didn't want to ruin my door since it's in pretty good condition.

I'd park behind them. They'd be parked along the sidewalk in Boston and I'm sure they wouldn't notice that they'd been moved up a couple feet (and apparently, I was right, as my car was never victimized over it).

One time, I went to pick up my check from work in downtown Beverly and squeezed into the last legal street spot before the corner of a side street and came out a few minutes later to find a Geo Metro illegally parked right against my rear bumper, leaving me no room to get out (since I was right on the guy in front, but he had plenty of space in front of him to pull out—unlike the Geo driver, I wasn't an ass). Put the car in reverse and gently bumped up against the Geo's front bumper and pushed it a little. Still not enough room, so I looked around to see if anyone was watching. A couple people at the bus stop across from me were, fist pumping me to go for it. So I did. Pushed the Geo several feet, leaving it mostly blocking the side street and took off with the bus stop people laughing their asses off. I waved to them as I left. It was like pushing a bicycle, it was so easy. They must have only used the parking brake and it probably wasn't in good condition. That downtown had some serious parking Nazis, too, so I wouldn't doubt it if he got a nice ticket to top it off. But, really, you're going to fuck with the guy whose car has crosshairs on the hood, hash marks on the door, teeth in the grille, a "People Suck" sticker (which I had to make from a "Mean People Suck" sticker since they didn't make the plain "People Suck" one yet), and quotes from 1984 on his rear bumper?

Haha nice. Yeah they're light. Especially he pre-96 metro's. Mines a bit of a heifer especially after all the sound reading it installed and the sub and amp and speakers.

Lol. My friends and I use to do that to each others cars. You'd never know where your car will be.

I pulled an 1981 chevy camaro, 5 miles.

Last June, I pulled out a FWD Saab 5spd out of the Yuma dunes... HE ROASTED his clutch- buring his car and I just hooked up my tow strap and gave him a nice even pull and it pulled right back onto the road with my STi, though he ALMOST hit me.. yeesh! I have a picture somewhere of him stuck, but nothing of the towing out part...

My footprint *at 35psi in my Westlake All Seasons *


Right before we saw the Saab make it just 10' from the asphalt.

so this was awhile back and with my old ea82 wagon. was 4wd, no turbo, webered, 2.5" exhaust. it ran 75 down the freeway with the same car behind it in tow on a dolly.

then before i took the dolly back i moved a friends s-10 about 15 miles for him.. it was a little heavier lol..

Multiple other legacys of all years, a new VW beatle out of a ditch, a BMW 325 xi across town to a euro shop, volvo 240 stuck in the snow, two different 18' aluminum boats (in and out of parking spots no long distance or launches) 2 motorcycles to a track day, I know I'm probubly missing some too, and yes our clutch is getting a bit cranky lol

Wouldnt be a soob without a cranky clutch!

EPIC!
