Another thread on here relates to the "tow" hook behind the front bumper.

Several people indicated the hook was for towing the car. No, it is not.

I wanted to highlight the issue because the idea of the hook being for towing is a popular misconception.

Read your manual. The hook is only for pulling the Z out of mud/snow/etc.

The manual has very specific instructions for how the Z is to be towed. See pages 6-10 thru 6-12.

 

yeah.. its to help pull the car up onto the flat bed or out of a parking spot or something...

but if you get towed then you generally just get some guy pullin your car 2 weels off the ground... grrrrrrrrr

 

And that is why you always leave your car parked in gear. This forces the need for the dolly on the back or a flatbed. Of course, if you are going to be charge, it will cost you much, much more.
