Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong

Seat (auto car company) had bought the body stampings for the 1964 Dodge Dart. So you would see them running around,

I had to look this one up, because Seat was a joint venture between Fiat and the Spanish government. (sold to VW in 1987) and i couldnt imagine how a Dodge Dart fits in their line up..

The Dodge Dart was built by Barreiros, which was a Chrysler Europe subsidiary for a short while, the truck branch ended up as Renault (Volvo owned)
The Dart came as knocked down units from Argentina to Spain.

I rode in one those weird, ugly Citroens, with air ride.

Air ride, they had hydraulic suspension struts coupled to nitrogen filled membrane accumulators, just like modern farm tractor front axle suspension. Only Citroën had it in 1955, and they engineered the French way... had their own, green coloured LHM oil for no reason..

Later models like the BX or Xantia were much uglier. People like Citroën for being weird ...

I love those super quirky Citroen DS.
My Brothers GF father back in the late 70's had a few.
Changing a tire by just raising the other 3 corners was so wild to a teenage me.

My neighbour repaired the suspension on one, and had it parked on high ride height to see if it would leak down or not. I had the other neighbours laughing when i said that Martins Xantia looked like a startled cat, with its back high up in the air.

Good analysis. That roller/compactor is likely around 26,000lbs. The tractor loader another 10,000. I can't imagine how overloaded the pin weight is on that truck. There are some nutjobs out there...

Or maybe he was just inspired by that tv ad from maybe 10 years ago with the guy in a tacoma supposedly pulling the space shuttle.

The municipal services in the city i worked, gave their employees a Renault Twizzy 10 years ago. Next to him at the traffic lights, i looked him dead in the eyes with a look on my face that said "are you serious ?" He instantly stopped looking around and stared into the traffic light. I grinned and thought "yup, this guy is embarrassed "

Really stupid name, but the car itself doesn't look any dumber than an enclosed version of one of those 3-wheel motorcycles with the 2 tires in the front.

Oh wait, the black buggy towing the boat had a horse shoe mishap, let's tow it back home with the ultra-modern EV Cyber truck!

Is it just the way the light's hitting it, or is the paint job on that Tesla truck really that bad?

Stainless steel, except that stainless steel isn't when it comes to road grime.
It's bad.

Sort of like saying, "it's no more red than a stop sign."

It's no thinner than a rail.

It's no wetter than a fish...

The car followed too close and disturbed the air flow. Jon

His mistake was being in the fast lane.
