[QUOTE="LanceK, post: 1556540, member: 107933"] Last big snow we had, my neighbor called saying she was stuck up the road and asked if I could help. Now we are in the city and the snow was not that bad, I had a long enough strap where I could stay on dry pavement, put it in low and just ease her out. By the time I get out the door and down the road some guy had a strap already hooked up. Good, I’ll just observe and go back home. That’s when it happened.... the guy backs up gets about 5 feet of slack in the line and hits the gas! He slams the end of the rope as I am hollering at him to stop, he backs up to do it again and I get him to stop. He says, it’s a strap, you have to do it that way. I bend down, unhook his strap and as politely as I can, ask him to move. I hook mine up, put it in low let the clutch out and ease the suburban out of the drift. After that I go make sure my wife knows to not let anybody other than me hook up to her car. A couple hard hits could have broke whatever the first guy had his strap hooked to. Sometimes you just don’t know, hopefully that guy learned something from me, but I doubt it. [/QUOTE]
