Video: SUV Owner Strikes Back and Tows a Tow Truck

Standing by while your car gets towed is terrible. This Shangainese Chevy owner used its car's remaining two wheels to counterattack. Note to Chinese tow companies: either get heavier trucks or remember to take them out of neutral. [Chinasmack]

This is ridiculous. Who pulls a car onto a two truck while in neutral?

Are you talking about the tow truck? When you leave a vehicle with a standard transmission in “park” means you put the stick in neutral or non gear. You do this especially if you leave the vehicle running since it would stall if left in gear without the clutch engaged.

That’s a Traverse, which has a 3.6L V6 with 288hp. I doubt it is geared for pulling much. LOL!

LOL! The most dangerous creature on the planet is a woman in an SUV. And the tinier she is, the more dangerous.

What I wonder is how she got the free rolling wheels to pull it. Do they typically break in and put the towed car in neutral? If it was a front wheel drive, wouldn’t you tow it with the back wheels on the ground?

It just looks very staged to me.
