It would be hilarious to see that setup spinning out on some ice in the winter time...

I want one big time! That is awesome!

When I was a kid there was a guy who lived down the road, he had an old boat of a station wagon with wood paneling on it. There was a pipe welded to the transmission tunnel and a gooseneck ball mounted on the roof, he used to haul huge loads of scrap metal all over the place with that thing.
