Well i was dumb enough to have my car slide into a ditch while parking on the side of the road. The ditch is muddy and i dont know how im going to get the car out. I dont have the money to pay for towing, and i dont know what to hook a tow strap to, to pull it out with my dads truck. Any ideas? I feel kinda dumb askin but i dont know what else to do. Thanks in advance.

 

If the front end is in the ditch, hook to the rear end. Watch the brake lines!!

If the back is in the ditch, hook to the cross member. You will most likely damage the front nose with this method and it would be cheaper to call a roll back after considering the damage.

These are the two strongest points to place a load.

 

well the whole passenger side is in the ditch

 

Yeah, just like you get out of sand, go find something solid to put under the wheels and get them off the mud. Rocks, wood, anything but mud. Get them up on something with traction, then try. If you still cant get it out of the ditch, remove everything you just put down and have people push it from the side while you use the throttle. Just be sure to help hose the mud off of them when you're done.

 

well i finally got it out!! I through a towel down and then a brick. Finally got it to gain some traction on it and came out. The posi really helped too. Thanks for the replys though!
