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
