Top 10 Reasons to Run a Tow Hook as a Cosmetic Mod

swamp2 · 09-09-2009, 02:21 AM

I've commented on and posted to a few threads where this has come up. Some mods are so ludicrous I'll simply never understand them. A tow hook as a cosmetic mod is right up there with the fake disc brakes, fart cannon exhausts and oversize wings on Civics (IMHO). How about we go old school and pay our homage to the cosmetic tow hook mod with a David Letterman Top Ten List. I'll start.

The Top Ten Reasons to Have a Tow Hook as a Cosmetic Mod.

10. My brand new M3 is so unreliable I need to get it towed really often.
9. When doing all that parallel parking I want to make sure I do a lot of damage to the car in front of me.
8. I can't drive like I'm on the track, but I sure can look like I'm headed there.
