Came up behind a large motorhome pulling a Suzuki Grand Vitara (sp?) the other day. Must have left the Suk in gear. It was pouring lots of smoke out of the tail pipe. When passing the Suk, it sounded like a wailing tom cat! I tried to get the attention of the motorhome driver but he wouldn't look over (he was elderly and had Florida plates. probably snow birds going home). The way the Suk was smoking, I'd say it was already toast anyway.

 

Another one for the Darwin awards? One thing about stupidity, it has it's own punishment.

Thats funny stuff. I bet they wondered what was wrong with the Zuki when they got home. Probobly couldent figure out why it wouldent start.

 

I bet they were wondering why the Suzuki seemed so much heavier.

 

nothing like pullin something that weighs less then my motor but feels like pulling a mobile home

 

Did you see the pics of the little Ford pickup that was drug by a motorhome?
It must have been in Park or e-brake on, maybe both. The rear tires were
ground away and so was the bottom of the aluminum rims, they ground down until the rearend hit and started grinding away.
Amazing pics, they were floating around the internet a couple months ago.

 

when i worked at oreilly's someone brought in a rotor/wheel. he wanted to warranty the rotor heres what happened: he got drunk one night and while coming home, he had a flat and decided to continue home and change it in the morning. the tire got hung up and stopped the wheel. the tire eventually fell off and when the wheel got to the ground it started eating the wheel. he wore the wheel all the way down past the rotor into the "hat" part of the rotor where it goes over the hub. it was all welded together and was angry at us when we wouldnt warranty his rotor.

 

I think I have that picture in my DTR photo album. Sitting on half an aluminum wheel .

thats just about how the wheel we had looked like

 

Pistol, I've laughed until I'm crying over that Ford wore down to the bumper! The thought of that Suzuki turning 12000 rpm in 1st gear doing 65 down the interstate is pretty funny to!

 

I've seen vehicles huffing while in-tow due to overheating. They forget the car is running after they hook it up and off they go. Good things about our trucks, that won't happen.
