Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong

You don't get it detailed weekly? They can get sap off easily.

Would their methods work in Congress?

It's only a Vette! LOL. Jon

Bite your tongue!

I grabbed this picture the other christmas when we were headed home from the tree lot. I had my tree inside my excursion, put a tarp down and 8' of space. This guy didn't have the luxury I guess.

Heck - who drives a Vette in the snow???

Trucks are $60k anymore. People don't seem to mind with those....

Nobody is tying a tree to the roof of a truck. And even if they did it is higher than anyone can see so the scratches will never be visible. Not waist-level like a 'Vette.

I'm always baffled by people who care so little about their stuff (especially really nice, expensive stuff) that they do things like this 'Vette driver did. If you can own a car like that you probably also own another car more suited to such a chore. Or you should have a friend with a truck/van/minivan/SUV that could probably help you. But in this case either someone has too much money or they didn't buy the car.

Trucks have uses other than the sole purpose of looking good. Without a vette's good looks, what does it have?

 

[Sysop]

More speed than a truck.

Granted that is useless to most folk. I'd reckon that's why there are more trucks sold than Corvettes (or likely all sports cars combined).

You mean something like this?

And some don't use things they have for fear of messing them up.

I'm not a proponent of either.

I try to take good care of all my stuff, old or new. Schitt still happens, and it usually makes swear words come out.

That thing may be two days away from repo. Who knows?

And the butt end of the tree should be forward, into the wind! That guy will have a lot of broken branches.

Or a Charlie Brown tree.

That fact wouldn't make me any more tolerant or understanding of their behavior.

Snow- what snow?- that looks like an early fall day here...

Lol. Lived in upper PA in the "lake effect" region throughout college - I remember those days!

Now, I know this is supposed to be about people towing or hauling the wrong way, but I think it helps once in a while to see the right way to do it, and this guy is definitely doing it the right way! All nicely strapped down with some heavy duty straps, properly secured. :thumbsup:

Had this guy pass me on the 90, I was traveling at 75 mph. Carrier is held on by two short bungee straps hooked together. Was bouncing all over the place.

Not that he had it on correctly, but those units usually had fixed lower straps made to connect to the roof lip that cars no longer have. I think I see them wrapped around the roof rack which would keep it from flying off but not from bouncing around.

I think the straps are holding the sides up, ie as a safety to the latches there. Jon

You shouldn't mistake my comment for that. He's either a dumbazzz r a deadbeat in my opinion. Maybe both.

That was my thought too
