If you look closely you can see it folded flat against the front of my car. Everything in front of the wheels is flat, though oddly the airbags didn&#39;t deploy.&quot; <br />I recently purchased a VW Golf wagon. The owners manual warns against driving with the tow eye in place on the front bumper as it may affect deployment of the air bags in the event of a collision.Kiradalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11882879141661541901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2960739132230774024.post-87691499913275715862016-03-20T14:49:06.762-04:002016-03-20T14:49:06.762-04:00As dad would say, and as you well know: that little car doesn&#39;t owe you a penny.<br />(Which doesn&#39;t really make a lot of sense, but I know you know what he meant.)blackbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05474831322702380602noreply@blogger.com
