Sure enough as I'm near the top of the hill (by this point going maybe 10 mph), the rear of the car slides out & JUST DOESN'T STOP. The car went almost 180 degrees around, and stopped less than 2 feet from the curb on the inside of the turn.
So get this.. It starts snowing like mad at 5:45pm...my wife's Lexus stops moving in the road on the way home, she was like 1/8 miles from our street
..so a nice person decides to "help" he ties a rope to the front of the car.....where???....to the TRANSMISSION COOLER LINE!!
...how stupid can someone be?...does it seem like it would take a brain surgeon to think that attaching a rope to a rubber hose under a car for the purpose of pulling it would be a bad idea??? maybe I just expect too much from the standard human..so then she lets the car run to keep the kids warm till I get there and pumps all the trans fluid out on the ground, so now there is a good possibility that the trans is destroyed....Merry christmas to me!! my kids will love opening a new transmission on christmas morning
Sorry just needed to vent...but man how stupid can you be...attach a rope to a rubber hose to tow a car?...even my 6 year old knew that was dumb.
