it actually kinda looks like a woman driving. Just think that car will end up on a used car lot one day and some sucker will buy it

Hopefully the driver is the only one injured/killed when that mess gets into a wreck.......

Next time buy a truck better yet... quit driving.

I'm not saying it was safe by a long shot, but you would be surprised at how light a sailboat that size is.

2800 or so lbs probably, might be lighter if it's a water ballast boat vs. steel or lead keel. It's a little much for the Taurus, but honestly I see far more ridiculous loads hitched to the back of our trucks than that on a regular basis.

it's a small boat. one axle. people used to haul 42' Vagabond trailers across the country behind a 1953 dodge four door sedan and not have any trouble. don't blast ME i was only 6 at the time.

It might be light, but it's big and if a heavy gust of wind came up that sail boat would be the sail for that car

I saw one like that the last time I was in the Keys, it was coming down one of the bridges right at me, and it was all over the road. I was getting ready to park my truck and jump off the bridge when it was coming head on, towards me. What
really ****** me, was that I had nowhere to go, and my life was in the hands of an idiot boater wannabe that didn't know S***t about towing. After they past me I didn't even look behind me to see if they ended up in a ball at the bottom of the bridge, just hope they didn't take out another family with their stupidity.
