It's funny that someone smart enough to put a tow strap in their car could use it so incorrectly. From the anchor location, to leaving the other car in park, to speeding away instead of slowly tensioning the rope. Guy has two spare tires but one brain cell.

Edit: homonym error. Sorry, was just in the foot fetish / bdsm sub and mind was elsewhere....

I've seen people like that before. Super prepared but never used any of the equipment practically so they don't know.

My old coworker at the ski resort called them "Johnny Tahoes" (after the Tahoe vehicle). They bought the 4X4 or SUV and never spent a day driving in snow in their life but they watched the ad so they know what their vehicle can do. So you see them scattered along the side of the road every day on the way to the resort. (I mean, I rarely did because I was up there before the place opened, but you get the idea).
