Headed into town this evening. I was going about 3 mph in the curve where I previously tested my VSC. Road had about 4" of snow over ice. Slowly slid to the right into the snowplow's windrow where it now sits. Popped the cap from the front bumper for the first time and discovered that it comes out easily and stays attached with a plastic tether. Installed the tow screw and walked a block and an half back home. Went to town in the Explorer. Plan is to pull the Prius out tomorrow. Were the towing eye in back this would be quite easy but with it in front I'll first have to dig out the windrow with a front end loader. Rats.
