I have pretty much ignored this post, as i see way more of this kind of stuff on a daily basis, more than my camera memory card can hold!
I was thinking about a 25 foot flatbed deck over trailer I purchased from a guy many years ago, a tennant to a house I had. He was supposed to deliver the trailer to my house when he got his truck fixed. , about 30 miles away. He came up to my work one evening and asked me if I could "build him something". Not knowing what he had in mind, being at work, and not wanting to tie up too much time, I walked over to the shop and got permission to use a scrap piece of 1/2" x 4" flatbar for this project of his. He wanted a "Z" made, with a 1" hole in each end, which didn't take all that long to do. It needed to be 15" high so I grabbed a 20" piece of flatbar and made it, sent them on their way and went back to work.
He came back to my work about 3 hours later saying he had delivered the trailer and needed the money. I called the Wife, and yes, they had delivered it, so I paid him. That night when I got home, I went out and looked it over, and realized what they had done. Hanging from the coupler was the "Z" that I had built. They had removed the ball from his girlfriend's car bumper and bolted this thing down, added a ball at the top and pulled this huge trailer all the way to my house, most of which was 2 lane roads. When asked, he said the reason for the "Z" was because the car springs sagged so much under the tongue weight, that the landing gear was dragging, even when rolled all the way up. They couldn't get the landing gear off, so they had to do something!
I kept that "Z" piece of metal around for years as a reminder to always ask the purpose of any favors people needed!
By the way, the car they pulled it with was a 1977 Chevy Chevette!

is it a competition because I also never get pass … i try to no be a idiot by any means so keeps my drifts on the control side of things, stay on my side and stay on the road… I love dirt roads and icy or snow covers conditions because I don’t have to watch my speed I just drive, focus and push the limit of traction of my vehicle wheels. and also I always have premium tires… if one think he drive fast ask what tires he has and you will know how really fast he can potentially if he can actually drive.
