I got this from another board...Its shouldnt e a repost because it happened at his shop...

This is what the story was:

"A customer had his SportTrack towed into our shop this morning. He was towing his SportTrack behind his Motorhome "Coach" for about 50 miles before he noticed a problem. There appeared to be a lot of sparks coming from his SportTrack. There was only one small problem, when he got his SportTrack all setup behind the motorhome he forgot to take the trans out of park. Yep he had been towing it for the last 50 miles in park. The tires were gone and the rims were half gone,must of also wore down part of the axle housing to because it was leaking. Don't know how the trans is yet. "










Im sure it did wonders for the transmission...



PS. If this needs to be moved to car talk, please do so, thanks...

RV must've had some power not to notice the dragging car and the driver is an idiot for not noticing.

On the topic of RVs what is really mind boggling is when a full size RV tows a car and a boat at the same time.

Why wouldnt anybody honk at him and tell him that his car is sparking/not rolling?

I also wouldn't be surprised if this gets blamed on Firestone.

Wild, the parking brake must have been on too. Because I know the tranny gives at about 15-20MPH to let the wheels spin. My friend was a repo man and they would grab cars all the time in park as soon as they hit about 20MH the tires brake free. I'm fairly sure they are designed that way.

Either way what a retard! LOL
