See, there's always a silver lining.

The police can't give someone a ticket for Stupid, but at what point would someone like that get pulled over and cited for reckless endangerment, or something like that?

As the honorable Forrest Gump said, "stupid is as stupid does."

I wonder if these people have a competition to determine the worst heavy TT / tiny car combo? This one has to be in the sweet 16 if nothing else.

But the owners manual says the car has a tow rating of 4,000 lbs and that trailer is only 3,500 dry!

Wonder if the gas tank is protected with a skid shield ...pretty close to bottoming out
Edit: what was I thinking...that’s what the trailer tongue jack is for

It should be against the law for a dealer to allow someone to leave their lot knowing there is a big problem.
