Is that a thing? Are there un-towable cars? What are you supposed to do if you break down and there _aren't_ 6 people to help push however far?
- Ancapistani 4y agoI’m guessing the “plastic underneath” is referring to a skid plate, but could be wrong. Presumably you’d tow it with a rollback wrecker, though.
- mikestew 4y agoI'm confident a flatbed tow truck could tow it. A tow truck with a wheel dolly could probably do it. If it were close to a coal mine, there were probably many, many vehicles that could have towed the car, but not a one of them could do it without tearing up plastic bits on the car. I also wouldn't base my knowledge of a vehicle's towability on the words of a television reporter. Could just as easily been the case that it was easier to push the car the 25m than to wait for Joe to get his truck, find his tow strap in that black hole he calls a toolbox, find a place to hook it on the car...
