Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong

Plus, if you take a closer look (I zoomed it bigger), it isn't a tailgate, it's the side of a smaller truck bed or some such (as is evident in the right sided picture).

Wrong color.

We would say pumping the brakes.

Humping can be misconstrued as a ****** act, as in the dog was humping her leg....

Hmm... I guess theres something wrong with my translation ?

I saw this FWD Cadillac pulling this grady white walk around in the rain! Here on Delmarva we love to see setups like this pulling up the boat ramps in the summer.

And good to see they're using the whole road and not just the side.

It only looks unusual in todays standards to be pulling a boat/trailer with a car, I can remember back when car's is what we used to tow with, mostly station wagons and large sedans. single cab trucks of past weren't to comfortable to pack all family into,

In that era, a big full-framed Caddy with a large motor could easily tow as much as a lot of pickups.

CHP used to recondition old patrol cars when they retired them - repaint etc - then advertise them as ideal for towing. Heavy suspension, 440 ci, HD brakes, HD cooling, HD everything. A lot of towing capability at a very reasonable price.

I know it CAN be misconstrued, but didnt know anyone would...

I always have a good laugh when seeing someone driving a truck with absolutely nothing in the back, and towing a trailer with just a little bit of stuff to haul on it, a few bags of concrete, bales of pine straw, a couple 2x4's etc,etc, a few months back I delivered a washer and dryer to a relative, My truck had the shell cap on at the time, but rather removing it or hooking up my 16' trailer, I got the Cary-all that i used with the RV, load them onto it strapped-um-down and was on my way, I'm sure it looked strange to others, But I didn't need no trailer for that little bit of hauling,
IMHO if folks not going to use a truck as a truck ...via: (Hauling stuff ) whats the point in having one,
Oh I suppose they're not-gonna throw things in the bed and risk getting it dirty, they have a trailer for that
OK... who here have I just described??

He is merely taking his half out of the middle.

RV drags Pickup 6 miles... The driver of an RV didn't realize the pickup he was pulling was in PARK!

The beginning was a bit long so we'll skip ahead to the 4:00 mark.

Reminds me I was heading home one night and a guys 3/4 ton Chevy or GMC dies just below the crest of a hill. I can tell by the lights dimming he is trying to restart it. Keeps rolling back a little bit, finally he is back far enough I can shoot around him. I ask him if he wants me to use my strap and pull him over the hill and to a side road where he can safely try to get it going or leave it for the night. He first asks me if I will tow him to his buddies house about 15 miles down the highway. I say no way. He agrees to let me get him off the highway about a mile to the next side road. All the while he keeps trying the starter. I hook up the strap and tell him to flash his lights when he is ready. I get the go ahead and go to pull him and it feels way heavier than it should. ( I am using a F350 v10 and am used to heavy loads) I think maybe is slow getting off the brake or something. Then I realize his lights keep dimming. This idiot is still trying to start the truck. He is NOT in neutral!!! We haven't gotten barely up the hill let alone close to the turn out. I go back and ask him what the heck and says he is with me now if I will just pull him to side road. I get back in my truck and start off OK then all the sudden his truck just locks up again and he trying to start it. I have had enough so I just pull him the rest of the way leaving black trails from his rear tires flat spotting down the highway. I think I actually made second gear. I turn down the road and can't retrieve my strap fast enough and he thanks me for the help as he is still trying to start his truck.

I think his saving grace in the rain. Surprised the tire didn't burn up.

"Can't cure stupid" ......so true.

I agree. That is beyond description.
