    Before I started keeping the cash for myself My son parted out a car and we put the shell on Clist for free. These guys showed up and wanted to do basically the same thing as above, so I grabbed a sawzaw and cut it in half so we could at least stack it. My wife and daughter were inside with tears in their eyes from laughing so hard.

    Sigh, rub my eyes, look again, yup, must be a flashback to that acid I ate at that Dead show.

    Only saving grace is the engine on the car is over the axle on the truck. I would imagine an incline could tilt it backwards. He'll, a large dog in the trunk would do the same.

    Scary thought for all to ponder......... You still have not seen it all. Someone will top this. It is not if, it's when.

    Can't tell for sure, but I think it might be connected to the chain that's looped through the passenger window.

    I am quite familiar with 17. I live in Jamestown. Well, then I agree it was not the right road, but there are many back roads, he could have chosen a better route. Wonder where he was trying to take it? If I am loaded down good, I don't take 17. I am usually coming from Westfield though.

    Update: Captured by a fellow employ's camera phone. I don't have the picture yet, but will get it tomorrow. The SAME GUY, was pulled over in front of the scrap yard a day or two later, doing the SAME THING!! He had a van, somehow upside down in the back of another pickup truck. I will Post the picture when I get it, and look for any other news articles if they exist.

    Not only is he an idiot for hauling it that way (what would it cost to rent a dolly, $30?) but also for leaving on the alum rims! And most likely the cats too

    Maybe a forklift lifted and held it on the truck until they could strap it on.
