Do we have a tow hook in the rear?

[Liquidgsr]

So today its been snowing non stop and i went off the road slid into a 4 foot ditch and landed a few inches from a power pole and another 4 foot ditch full of water. I missed a van too. Luckly my friend had AAA and a tow truck driver pulled me out. I noticed though that I don't have a rear tow hook. He was going to tow my car from my rim spokes but after he saw them he decide he woudn't do that to them and found another spot way under the car. He was really nice. I thought my rims were done and my suspension blown, but luckly "knock on wood" nothing is bent or messed up...as far as i know. My car is barried in snow so I can't tell.


Cliff: Car fell into a 4 foot ditch and realized I don't have a tow hook in the rear.

I need to buy one.

I've never noticed one in back. I know we have 2 in the front

Toyota drivers usually don't drive head first into stuff, so we never got rear tow hooks, remember we don't drive hondas, we've never needed to be pulled out from the rear! UNTIL NOW!

Honda drivers in Toyotas still drive headfirst into stuff. Bad habits die hard.

According to a July 2007 Daily Mail article, the hulking canine in the photograph is a whippet named Wendy who was born with a genetic defect which caused her to grow larger and much more muscular than others of her breed:

While her head, heart, lungs and legs are the size of those of a normal whippet, her gene defect means she is "double muscled".

She weighs 4st4lb - twice as much as she should - and has bulging neck muscles, burly shoulders and haunches like a baboon. And unlike ordinary whippets known for their lithe and narrow frame, this four-year-old pedigree doesn't just have a sixpack stomach, she has a 24-pack.

A June 2007 New York Times article reports that Wendy and others like her - dubbed "bully whippets" - have become the subjects of scientific testing.

When mutant, muscle-bound puppies started showing up in litters of champion racing whippets, the breeders of the normally sleek dogs invited scientists to take DNA samples at race meets here and across the country. They hoped to find a genetic cause for the condition and a way to purge it from the breed.

It worked. "Bully whippets," as the heavyset dogs are known, turn out to have a genetic mutation that enhances muscle development.

In spite of her somewhat fearsome appearance, Wendy's owner claims that she is a friendly animal who "likes nothing better than a good back scratch and isn't shy about sitting in your lap to ask for one". And far from living a spartan life as a Russian Army dog, Wendy enjoys a relaxed and healthy life on a farm in Victoria, Canada.

i love how threads go from tow hooks to dogs on roids.

[rollatuner110]

That dog would be an awesome pet. I wouldn't even have to sic it on anyone. Just the sight of her would scare the pants off of them.

there isn't a specific tow hook, but there is an area to use to strap down a car.
