Someone posted this today over on reddit.. Said they loaded her up and drove off on the main street in the shopping district:

Needs more weight on the tongue. If the driver picks up some speed the guy in the wheelchair could have a memorable ride.

Naw.. All that Mountain Dew is holding the tongue down..

Yet another example of great skills and ignorance with cargo handling, leaving local big box store. It’s been carefully loaded right next to the tail gate so it does not fall out.
Never mind sudden stops.......

This video will make you feel better about yourself, unless you are featured in it...

Also a pretty good tractor safety moment starting at 21 seconds in, and a great farm clip at the end around 9min 45 secs.

These two knew each other and were comparing notes before leaving the lot. Tried to get back to my truck so I could donate a few staps to them, but by the time I got there the lady in the black truck was racing out around the corner and the gentleman was backing out quickly with that unsecured hot water heater in the El Camino. I bet that he was fine, but the load of sheetrock with those custom "jousting poles" out the side might pose a problem in traffic. Had to be sticking out about four feet or more.

Watching the above, you have to wonder why some people have lived so long despite efforts to have Darwin call them home.

Yes. Thank you. I do feel pretty smug. :laughing: However, I might have a little vertigo from all of that slow head shaking I just did.

Just wait 'til she hits the gas at the stoplight and those sheets slide out the back onto the road!! Those pieces of sheetrock are quite slippery and inertia is a *****.

This video really demonstrates just how little most people know about how vehicles are constructed and what a good tow anchor point is. I'm not sure how I ever figured that stuff out, but thinking about it now, I bet my kids haven't really been educated on it. Growing up in the country has its benefits...
