Not only do they serve no real purpose for the kids out on the street with them, they look ridiculous because everyone knows they serve no purpose. Everyone knows it's just there to show you're down with the latest fad. Later, QD.
    eh... they could serve a purpose like as was stated above with a wreck or something... it just looks different... something interesting i suppose.

    but you knew the answer all along... . silly man.

    It "could." But I know that at least 95% of the people that have them don't have them because they think they might need them one day.

    And I didn't really know the answer. To an extent. I really did wonder if there was any real reason to have them that I was missing out on. I knew the fanboy angle. But now I know that's pretty much the only reason. Later, QD.
    FOR MORE INFO, CLICK THE PIC!!!

    yeah... i mean there are probably SOME people out there with them that track their cars and need it, but those are probably far and few between.

    Track cars don't even need hooks or straps, only full competition door to door race cars or possibly time attack may require them.

    But you gotta admit, tow hooks on drift cars when you're Mike Peters is wicked!

    Be sure to watch vid at 1:35 when the 360's start then 5:29 when tow hook kisses wall.
