Don't let people tell you...

That your Tow Hook is stupid, useless, etc. Yeah I like the way it looks, but in today's Spring snowstorm, in order to avoid an accident as a result of not being able to stop, I had to take the car off road.

I amazingly missed everything, including the car in front of me, a power line pole, and two trees. I waited 2 hours for Roadside Assistance to show, and the car was easily winched out using the tow hook in the rear hole.

For the record, I have the Autotecnik hook and it worked quite well. I am swinging by the dealer tomorrow morning to make sure everything is ok, as I now seem to be leaking a yellowish fluid from the rear axle area.
