Every car has holes in the frame put there specifically for towing and transport. There are three different "hooks" I use to attach my truck to the other car. 'J' Hook (looks like the letter J) is most used to hookup trucks and suvs by the front or rear axel. The 2nd is the 'T Hook" Looks like the letter T, you insert into precut holes in the frame and turn 180* which prevents it from falling outta the hole you just put it in to. And the 3rd "Frame Tab" or as I call it a "European hook", its long and slides into the frame much like a T hook but its much longer and with pressure is very hard to fall out. Most of European cars I tow (BMW, Benz, Rolls Royce.. yea I got to tow one once) use them. While most domestic cars have precut holes in the frame that are more suited to the T hooks not so many European cars do.

I've lived in tipton indiana all my life the worst plowed roads in indiana. they don't actually put the blades down to the ground they leave them about 2 -3 inches up and off. well my first vehical was a geo tracker I loved that thing. It was so light I could drive on top of the snow almost. The one time I went off the road and got stuck in a field. I lifted the rear end up and moved it over a couple of inches got traction and drove out. never been stuck though... well until I fliped it over in a ditch.
