Wow, how is that hitched? Do you tie the cable as if it's rope?


That is what my cousin and I did a bzillion years ago. He used his cables and his VW bug to help a guy out of slight predicament. Worked pretty good.


I suppose it would work if you had nothing better but in the same vane, I think it would be unlikely to be useful for its original purpose after that.
