Ok here in north dakota we got about 30 inches of snow today so that reduced my mustang to a snow drift so now i need a way to pull it out. I havent had the car long so im not sure what to connect the tow rope to. I noticed when i look under the car there is this really convient bar that is directly under the engine looking somethin like this(please excuse the crudeness of the drawing)

Use your K-member to tow it. Please don't use you sway bar. It will be expensive to replace all the steering parts that you broke. LOL, just let it site till spring.

I know you have heard of a snow shovel. Sometimes you have to work for the ones that you love.<IMG src=smileys/smiley4.gif border="0">
