I wondere why they just didn't shovel the car out.

It also looks like there is more damage than what the car is worth. Poor guy.

I can't even count how many times I went back to about 2:05 where it shows the damage at a slowed speed.

All I can say is

Have these guys never heard of a shovel?!

Now that I think about it.... how'd they get the Geo into that situation in the first place?? And couldn't he have just drivin forward, and around the snowbank?

wait, so the whole tow hook snap off or what? or they just pulled on the bumper? i can't believe the tow hook can snap off that easy coz' it's attached to the frame

either case, that's so owned
