Where can you attach the tow strap?

Has anybody pulled the Vibe out of the snow using a recovery strap? Where do you attach the hook/strap on the Vibe? I got stuck at the end of my drive last night, and could not move the car after I moved the snow. The Vibe was resting on the snow, and I could not get any movement pushing the car. I ended up opening the hood and attaching the strap to metal under the hood. Any other suggestions for the next time?

under the front end in the middle on the frame is a metal loop for towing

i just saw the metal loop on the front end yesterday (right in the middle, hard to miss) ...i haven't checked under the back yet.

I'm almost positive there's nothing in the back. Would it be alright to just loop it around the rear torsion beam instead?

I wouldn't use the rear torsion beam, I have seen them bend in other cars. Then you have to replace it as well.

ThanksThere was snow all the way up to my grills, I shovel around but could not find it. As for the back, I did have the tow hook wedged into a spot on the metal support for the bumper, but I was not sure if it was strong enough to pull on it?
