My first thought looking at the rest of the vehicle is...is it a gas CAN or a gas TANK gravity feeding the engine?

Can't tell if there is some sort of replacement fixture in what remains of the left tail light.

Sorry for the fuzzy picture, I saw one the other day.
They were in Central NY having driven across the country (based on their plate anyway) with a "cargo carrier" made of PVC pipe strapped to the back of their minivan.
They had rakes, shovels, a large duffle bag and some boxes of some kind on it.

I'm curious if the dog pen on the roof affects fuel economy at all.

I am confused though since I see no straps holding any part of the dog kennel or pallet underneath it to the car.

Nope..

Most likely, since the car was parked in a no parking and not tagged, is one of the forklift drivers placed it on top. At least it looked that way too me.

Think about it, who would do something like this and expect it to go well?

I’ve seen a picture of a guy pulling a backhoe with the front bucket chained on a flatbed truck. I was thinking if you took it a few steps better and made a proper GN attachment for the loader and chained the loader frame to the backhoe so it’s not relying on hydraulics it wouldn’t be that bad. I still wouldn’t want to risk the rear end components.

I've done that back when I didn't have a trailer and only needed to go a few miles. Just put the bucket on a tie, chain it forward and back so it can swivel and go at a reasonable speed.

Why didn't you just drive it?

Guy in the town I grew up in would tow his TLB around by hooking the front bucket over the tailgate of his single axle dump truck so he wouldn't have to make two trips...

I saw an old French woodcutter haul his pickup out of the woods behind his skidder when pulling out of the woods for spring breakup. He simply winched the front wheels off the ground and let the truck slam into the butt plate all of the way out. By the time he got to the tar the nose of the vehicle was stove all to crap.
