Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong

I used to have an '88 F350 dually for a couple years.
Plastic bed liner in it.
One day I went to the lumber store, bought a bunch of stuff. The truck had such a rake that "there's no way this stuff is going to fall out the back!".
Well, that 460 had quite a bit of torque and I took off too quickly from a stop and dumped a bunch of lumber right in an intersection.
Luckily, it's a smallish town, and people are nice and helped me toss it all back into the truck rather than just drive on through and honk...

Yes, I learned the lesson (Don't take off so quickly when you didn't Tie it down!)

Got to do what you got to do?

Looks like they were putting it on a flat bed tow truck as is. That's safer?

No, but whomever gets kickbacks from the tow company gets their pocket lined.....

I drove by it on my way to our office in Hooksett. They were indeed pulling it up on the flatbed. The statie was also visibly laughing while snapping a bunch of pictures!!

There was a time when you could buy one Yugo and get either two or three. I think it bought one and get three.

Do you know why Yugo had seat belts? When it died you put it on like a backpack.

Funny thing is, the Yugo was a licensed copy of the Fiat Ritmo.. Also called the Strada in the US. I had one in high school

I thought Yugo's were the economy versions of Le Car. Just kidding. Remember those. Built by Renault. Haven't seen one on the roads since the early 90's.

The owner then went to the tow yard and drove it home!
