I would have done the wrap around the windshield - much better recovery point. Of course, that's just me doing some Monday morning armchair recovering. e   Randy Maynard (Rans) Senior Member Username: Rans Post Number: 744 Registered: 08-2002 Posted on Monday, January 26, 2004 - 10:14 am:    I guess now they'll be putting warning stickers on tow straps?   Randy Maynard (Rans) Senior Member Username: Rans Post Number: 745 Registered: 08-2002 Posted on Monday, January 26, 2004 - 10:24 am:    I guess now they'll be putting warning stickers on tow straps?   Phillip Perkinson (Rover4x4) Senior Member Username: Rover4x4 Post Number: 648 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Monday, January 26, 2004 - 12:27 pm:    hahahahahahaha   Blue (Blue) Dweb Lounge Member Username: Blue Post Number: 1141 Registered: 04-2003 Posted on Monday, January 26, 2004 - 12:43 pm:    that was beautiful, I am crying over here   Reed Cotton (Reedcotton) Senior Member Username: Reedcotton Post Number: 309 Registered: 01-2003 Posted on Monday, January 26, 2004 - 12:50 pm:    I wonder if this was before or after they jumped in a Jet Ranger?   Michael Noe (Noee) Senior Member Username: Noee Post Number: 841 Registered: 03-2002 Posted on Monday, January 26, 2004 - 01:27 pm:    Brutal.

I couldn't watch it either until you posted the link. BEAUTIFUL. Just beautiful. What kind of piece of crap car was that? Really good build quality there. The entire back half of the car rips off. HA!   Alan Yim (Alan) Senior Member Username: Alan Post Number: 1019 Registered: 09-2002 Posted on Tuesday, January 27, 2004 - 07:52 pm:    ROTFLMAO - Alyssa, they were just bob-tailing it for future off-road mods.   Peter Matusov (Pmatusov) Senior Member Username: Pmatusov Post Number: 1282 Registered: 09-2002 Posted on Tuesday, January 27, 2004 - 08:05 pm:    AWESOME, just awesome. Alyssa, FWIW - if you think an RRC bumper and tie-down rings are a better combination, think again!   Aaron Richardet (Draaronr) Senior Member Username: Draaronr Post Number: 389 Registered: 09-2002 Posted on Tuesday, January 27, 2004 - 08:14 pm:    Why didn't they pull it from other angle,instead of the drift?   Paul D. Morgan (V22guy) Dweb Lounge Member Username: V22guy Post Number: 2443 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Tuesday, January 27, 2004 - 08:17 pm:    HOLY MOLY!! Damn was that funny. I can't talk shit either because the D2 stock plastic bumper would do the same thing. Thank you very much Martin. That was awesome!   Matthew A. Barnes (Discoveryxd) Senior Member Username: Discoveryxd Post Number: 365 Registered: 08-2003 Posted on Tuesday, January 27, 2004 - 08:50 pm:    Just before it breaks- "Break my bumper I'll woop yer ass!" Now if he had only "knocked on wood"...   Erik Olson (Jon) Senior Member Username: Jon Post Number: 538 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Tuesday, January 27, 2004 - 08:52 pm:    I was wondering that too Aaron - why not pull on the bias instead of parallel with the drift? Same person picked the approach as picked the recovery point I suppose. e   Art Bitterman (Aardvark) Member Username: Aardvark Post Number: 82 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Tuesday, January 27, 2004 - 09:49 pm:    BTDT! Unfortunatly! Had a Dodge Omni 024; plastic front end. Driving home in a blizzard in England following a Ford Granada. All was well as long as I was moving (front wheel drive) Ford stopped, so did I. No traction. Farmer in Series attached chain to front end and ooops! there went entire front end. Tossed it in the back and a couple days later got some fibreglass and patched the plastic support pieces back in place....   mark gomez (Mark) Member Username: Mark Post Number: 51 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Tuesday, January 27, 2004 - 10:21 pm:    That was too funny! I've never seen anything like that before. It looked like he did'nt even pull all that hard on it.   Leslie N. Bright (Leslie) Dweb Lounge Member Username: Leslie Post Number: 2912 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Tuesday, January 27, 2004 - 10:27 pm:    Think it's a Geo Storm, but I'm not sure. Not worth fixing, IMHO, tho'...... -L   Craig Kobayashi (Koby) Dweb Lounge Member Username: Koby Post Number: 963 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Wednesday, January 28, 2004 - 01:23 am:    Indeed that is a Geo Storm. Paul, D2 bumper would rip off, but we have trailer hitchers...   Jaime Crusellas (Jaime) Member Username: Jaime Post Number: 218 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Thursday, January 29, 2004 - 05:31 pm:    Martin, Thanks for posting it. Add another example to the list of why good recovery points are necessary!
