Something funny that I saw on the drive home today. :) - 07.14.2010, 05:53 PM

Ha ha. Was driving home today and saw this:





rear view



Front tires of the Explorer started to drag on the road ( ) so the guy got out to re-pump his hitch.



Driving away.



Poor pick up could barely make it up hills. The Explorer was so heavy that the pickup's rear tires were so flat it was almost riding on rims. I thought it was funny that it had a light bar on it. Sorta makes it seem like he does this as a business.

Check out the tail lights on the PU, looks like Willie & Bubba cut up a Olds or Caddy and pop riveted the extensions on the Yota's quarters ??

Serious Redneck engineering right thar !

Not to mention it looks like he had a bit of oversteer from the front tires barely touching the ground!

Hi guys,That red neck montage is the funniest thing I've seen in ages.ROFL!!! We've got similar people in the UK.They're called pikeys.They tend to live in social housing,breed within the family(you should see the outcome.lol) Think that everyones properties thiers,Stink out the neighborhood(dog poop,human poop!) Leave a mess wherever they go.If they aren't in social housing,they move onto other peoples land and start building! The list is endless. Eugenics is illegal,but these people really should be steralized.lol.

Another thing I just thought about, towing a vehicle w/a Automatic transmission like that will burn up the unit because the trans is spinning but the pump is not working.

DOH!

Not a problem, he's probably got a Yamaha 4 speed stuck in there just in case!!

The "boom" he is using is off an old engine crane (cherry picker). It is probably rated for around 1000 pounds, without any sort of slide in extension. Also note that the yota's frame is very bent, and the bed is making contact with the cab. The custom 80's gm rear clip is sweet, I can only imagine that when he hits the powerball he plans to have that yota painted. Mako will have a field day with that beast.

That's an every day scene here in Middle TN. The gene pool can can be rather shallow in certain areas!
BTW, Bondo how in the world did you get the picture of my next door neighbors (two guys on the roast thread)
