    Nice advertising material for whatever brand that SUV is.

    I'm having a hard time believing that was real.

    Why would he leave his truck in neutral?

    And if her vehicle was AWD, she's putting her drivetrain through hell.

    it looks like a cayenne turbo. but, hey, don't get the details get in the way of a good story... :)
    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    Do you guys ever read anything?

    From the video description:
    A Chinese Chevrolet Captiva owner is angry that her SUV is going to be towed so she gets into her car, starts the engine, and begins driving off...while pulling the tow truck with her.


    It doesn't look anything like anything from Porsche.

    You do agree it's fake, regardless of brand, right?

    Either that, or the tow driver is the dumbest person on the face of the planet. First, he doesn't put his truck in gear/ park / turn the brake on. SECOND, he tows a FWD car with teh drive wheels down (any other option means the woman just destroyed her AWD/4WD system). THIRD, he doesn't stop her from getting in her car while it's up there.

    Here's the info on the car, if anyone wants to do the math.

    Plus, where's she gonna go? I imagine the first time she tries to turn a corner bad things are gonna happen, right?
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    Like the time I had a minivan in tow, put the tow truck in reverse, and it didn't want to roll backwards. That's when I realized it was a AWD model. :D
