Related: About this forumDodge Charger Repossession Goes Horribly Wrong - owner tries to drive off the repo truck
https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/research/dodge-charger-repossession-goes-horribly-wrong/ar-AAR0Bv2?ocid=msedgntpSometimes you just have to let it go
Getting your car repossessed isnt a fun situation, however its usually avoidable. However you got into that financial pinch, the worst thing you can do is try fighting the repo guy for the vehicle, a lesson a Dodge Charger owner learned the hard way.
In the included video, you can see a white Dodge Charger hooked up to a repo trucks boom, which is up in the air several feet. The rear tires of the Mopar are on the boom, the front tires on the pavement. When the video starts the owner of the vehicle is already inside and has the engine fired up. That person hits the accelerator and spins the front and rear wheels seemingly uselessly in an attempt to get the car back.
It seems useless, but after doing some damage to the rear bumper and the plastic shrouding on the chassis, the Dodge Charger is still stuck on the boom. In other words, it does seem to be useless. The video doesnt last long, so we dont know how this situation ended, but Im guessing the Mopar never drove away.

I see the rear wheels spinning...and I thought these cards were rear wheel drive.
