They obviously forgot it was a Russian car.

That'll buff out.

Don't think this is a Russian only problem. I have seen and heard of plenty of stupid towing stuff here in North America.

You have to attach to the main frame, and nothing else. Not bumpers, not axles, not nose/tail sub-frames. The pros can wheel tow because they have the right equipment and know what they are doing.

My aunt almost had her bumper ripped off when someone tried to pull her out of a snow bank. Another person stopped and checked what they had attached to and told them to move it to the frame.

There is also that classic video of the guy getting his entire rear bumper and trunk ripped off his Cavalier when not only did they attach it wrong, the had slack in the tow cable and just gunned it.

In the 2nd clip young guy is the car's owner and old geezer is like a super or manager. The guy asks what happened and why the pipe collapsed if this fall they had an inspection. The geezer answers that they didn't inspect sewer pipes...

I was completely screwed over by a tow truck driver in California. Car was on its side but still in working order, but instead of turning it back onto its wheels, they dropped it on the hood, dragged it to its death along the pavement and onto the back of the truck, then claimed it was totaled.
