What's the deal with the tow hook?

Felix 808

Ok guys, I have been on what the deal was with front tow hooks installed on your street cars. Forgive me, as I am not into all the tuner scene stuff, but what's the point? Poser points at your local Starbucks, or waiting for your car to break down so you can use it? Or maybe for those reverse dyno pulls. Could it be for easy access to pull you over those speed bumps when you get stuck? What gives? Could someone please explain the logic behind this?
Thanks
