Towing picture (Not to be outdone)

I caught this picture today in Menard's, Rice Lake, Wisconsin. It was just too good to pass up.

Nothing says "Murica" like an overloaded pickup with not 1 but 2 American flags in the bed.

Been a truck/trailer mechanic for 40 years. From pickups to class 8, and some heavy equipment work too. Never ceases to amaze me the examples of monumental stupidity and ignorance one sees. With increasing frequency I might add.

Yes This would be the same guy that loses his trailer and takes someone out. Just read a story about an accident in Kentucky where an RV become disconnected from the tow vehicle and killed a couple of innocent people across the median in the opposite lane. No details on cause.

I just looked at the picture again. No WDH. A good 4pt Equalizer hitch would solve all his problems!

How fast is he going there in the parking lot? Looks like at least 20mph the way the flags are flapping??

About 48 degrees today, windy and wondering why vacation in northern Wisconsin before the 4th of July weekend. And, uh, Danny, he was sitting still.
I certainly hope he lives just down the road.

Let me guess, no chains. If it came unhitched they didn't want it banging up the back of the tow vehicle?

Now they'll probably face manslaughter charges.

Hmmm...if I had known a good WDH could solve mental health issues, I would have invested in one long before needing it for a trailer.
