I don't think I've laughed this hard in weeks.
A few days ago, my buddy's car got boxed in by a Volvo S40 and a Jetta that left him 4" of room. After swearing profusely, he decided to do the next best thing to get himself out, which is tow the offending vehicle out of his way. Given that the Volvo was also hanging into the crosswalk, he decided that the Volvo was the one who blocked him in.
He called one of the guys from the shop, who incidentally has a GMC 2500 Turbodiesel 4x4 (13,000# tow rating) for towing his wife's horse trailer. They hooked a tow strap up to the tow hook on the Volvo and the hitch of the GMC. James gave the thumbs up and Andy proceeded to drag the Volvo, tires squealing, out of the way.
Once it was clear, Andy got out of the truck laughing hysterically. Apparently, he had put the truck into 4-low, and when James gave the thumbs up, he took his foot off the brake and the truck, at IDLE, pulled the Volvo 4ft out of the way.
Needless to say, I have a HUGE respect for Chevy/GMC work trucks now (when used to tow/work not mommy wagon). Brian, I'm eating my words, two thumbs to the power of the American Truck (when used for work/towing)
