How Not to Tow

http://www.dieseltruckresource.com/d...d.php?t=149183

Basically, saw the guy driving down the road and couldn't believe what I saw. So I turned around and found that he pulled over to park his trailer. So I started asking him about it and asked if I could snap some pics. It was pretty inventive for sure. I told him he was illegal, and he said, "well, I won't be once I get my lights hooked up". He said his S-10 was rated to tow 7K lbs. LOL.

I’d love to see how the trip ended up but I feel confident he ended up in a ravine somewhere wondering why bad things seems to always happen to him.

LOL, now ya know how I felt, but I actually saw it driving down the road. I'll post a couple more pics that I took of it when I get the time.
Unfortunately, this is no joke. I talked with the guy for 15 minutes or so. He even popped the hood of his truck to show me how clean it was.
Oh, he only paid $500 for the trailer and $700 for the truck. I think his words were, "not bad for a movable home, huh?"

I've actually CRIED laughing so hard from this.

It's not a repost until you post a link to the original AZ thread
