Every Tow-Truck-Driver-Hater's Fantasy

Tow truck drivers have to make a living like everyone else BLAH BLAH BLAH, whatever, all of the rest of us in the world hate them, including this lady in Shanghai who got revenge so sweet it's probably viral marketing for the four-wheel-drive on her noted-in-the-You-Tube-description Chevrolet Captiva SUV, but it's awesome:

My favorite part of this revenge plot is its short-sightedness. What can she do from there except laugh and be less mad?

The tow-truck guy should have gotten in his truck, turned it on, and floored it as well, then they'd have a tug-of-war over who won.

I call viral marketing. That car looks pretty shiny and new, and that guy running after it seems pretty staged.

yeah..i think the back wheels spinning would do a lot of damage or at the very least create some smoke. i was under the impression that the front wheels mainly control the steering. i could be pulling this out of my ass though. enjoyed.

umm have you never heard of front wheel drive cars? That means the front wheel do everything. The rear just roll and have no power to them. Thats why there was no smoke. lmao
