You have to check this out! The funniest thing I have seen in a while!

[atcman77]

I will go ahead and apologize if this by chance happens to be a member or any member’s family but I really couldn’t resist sharing this!

Anyway, on my way home from work Monday 4/18/2011 around 4:30 or so this is what myself and a few other co-workers happen to encounter. As you ponder over the pictures please keep in mind this is a fairly major 65mph highway in the southern tier part of New York State. (NYS Rte 17) A friend of mine actually went back and took photos of this!

This has to be “Redneck” Ingenuity at its best!

Thanks for posting that. I always wondered when or if I'd use the Facebook "Like" button. And the darwin award goes to.. How did they ever make it this far in the gene pool? Yikes...

[cattle-dog]

well scap is at a all time high, and to think i was looking at light wieght truck campers for my 3/4 ton ford!!!

[fabiodriven]

I am utterly dumbfounded. As a truck driver for 10 years and a heavy truck inspector for the last 3 I can now say I've seen it all. I don't even know where to begin with this one.

BINGO... The Trooper told my friend that this Woodchuck was actually heading to Weitsmans Scrap yard in Owego.

Im a trucker of 12 years and like you I have seen some crazy stuff out there. This one definately rates high on my wierd-s*#t-o-meter! LOL!

Side note: You a heavy truck inspector in the Law Enforcement capacity or in a shop? Just curious....

Hahahahahahahahaha. Sweet. HH

An uncle of mine used to work for the DOT in Iowa. He said the funniest thing he ever saw was when someone backed their pickup truck to a flat bed truck loaded with those huge 8 foot spools of aluminum sheet. Yeah, you guessed it cut the chains on the spool and rolled it into the bed of their truck, snapping the frame, axle, and demolishing everything behind the firewall. They pulled the plates and hauled @$$.. :lol:

[Z.Law114]

thats crazy...i just wonder how they got it up on there. lol at first i thought the car had rear-ended the truck

[dcreel]

I will say I see some kind of Chevy commercial out of this.. How does that go again.. I'd rather tow a Ford than..

[hang&rattle]

Want to comment, don't know what to though.

That was my initial reaction when I encountered this catastrophe Monday! :wondering

I do however have a few comments I would like to make but they aren't really appropriate for the forums...

[Chazz of Blades]

They were scrapping both the truck and the car I would imagine.

[brapp]

[jays375]

What do you expect with scrap prices so high.Why try to sneak around go the quickest and most direct route to the scrap yard.I would love to hear the first words out of that cops mouth.Poor bugger was just out to make a quick buck.

We were all wondering why this guy tried to haul that contraption down 17? I honestly think he would have made it if he had stayed on the side roads.

Regardless... The Trooper said he had already made it from Binghamton without getting caught... :lol:

[jays375]

Would have loved to hear the first words out the troopers mouth.Hope they were't DUI on top the rest of the charges they faced.

[300rman]

IDK what you would be charged with......the thing looks to be in there pretty securely.

I can only hope that comment was meant to be sarcastic? :wondering

[rockinrod80]

he should have just flat towed the car, would have saved some time and tickets

[RIDE-RED 250r]

Im pretty sure in NY that is even illegal now. I have heard that here you can no longer just use a tow strap or chain to tow another vehicle. Has to be on a dolly or solid tow bars like the people use to pull their small vehicles behind their RVs.
