LOL! Good one, Greg! Reminds me of the time I attempted to pull a downed redwood tree log with my Vanagon. It was about 1 ft. in diameter and 25 ft long, but it was green and therefore heavy. I tied a hefty one inch rope to the hitch-mounted hook and around the tree. There was a bit of a downhill slope to my advantage. With a little slack in the rope, I put the van in granny gear, gave it some gas and let her rip. Then, BANG! The rope snapped near the log and went flying forward to smack the rear of the van! Oops! Winner: Log
