Tie-down hooks are not towing hooks
Ever wondered why the manual says not to tow your car by the tie-down points?

Here's why! (Warning, some four-letter words in the audio track.)

One can only hope that the RX-8 is built a little better, but who's willing to take that chance?

Edit: Link updated.

Dude. Tow hooks are not the Holy Grail.

What I don't understand is why did they pull again after they already saw it was pulling the bumper off?
