Honestly I don't remember what specifically it was. It was pretty small
and front wheel drive and it had a light duty trailer hitch on the back.
There had been just a ton of snow and the plows couldn't keep up with
many rural roads only plowed about 1 1/2 lanes wide. The guy hit snow on
the edge attempting to avoid a head on and it sucked him in, while the
other guy kept going. The ditch is maybe 3 ft deep there but looked
level with all the snow. He was doomed without a tug as his entire car
was 'beached' on the stuff. My snatch strap wasn't in the truck but a
few scraps of twinax were back there in the snow. So we wrapped the
twinax from my hitch to his and after a couple tugs he was out.
I did not test the continuity of the twinax after we were done but the
ends were still on it!

Just found this thread. What a hoot down memory lane. "as popular as a
turd in a punchbowl." Using twinax to pull cars out of ditches. Larry, if
it had come from anyone else, I would have questioned the truthfulness of
that. Was it a Yugo?
