hmmmm it must of been barely stuck.... this will blow up some EGOs, lol.

Not much snow there, mostly slush.

SilverBack · 12-27-2009, 04:36 AM

Truck didn't seem stuck. But still amazing to watch

...and it's not due here. It is clearly no snow on road. It was "rig'ed".

well played.

nice.

the trunk also gave gas to help a little too..

if the STI had studded tires, it would slip even less :)

I've pushed trucks out of snow, with my hands....

It ranks right up there with the ford diesel pickup pulling the freighter down the docks commercial.

They could have at least used a believable rope or chain.

Doesn't look sufficient to move 50,000 pounds, that's all I'm sayin'.

if that Subaru could have done it the Yaris could have as well, since all
that truck apparently needed was a few dozen pounds of pull at most

yea you would hear the truck spool up before the sti even moved

prob just needed a quick tug to get it moving
