    In the last one I was wondering how he was planning on getting out of the car. I also wouldn't have wanted to be the guy inside the box truck as that car was coming in. All-in-all these are great videos of how people don't think through things. I was gonna laugh at them, but then I realized that everybody has to pay the Stupid Tax at some point(s) in their life.

    On how to get out of the car in the box truck...Be very skinny, or hope you can suck in the gut. LOL.

    My uncle works for a nationwide moving company, using a 18 wheeler to haul peoples stuff all over the States. He deals with folks moving their cars in his truck now an then, an that's how he explained it an showed me the few times I've been with him on a job. He's a skinny guy so no issues, but his partner never could drive one inside the truck..to much gut. LOL.

    Thanks for the videos!
