I go to home depot almost every day, see crazy things like that all the time.
just the other day, I saw a car with a 10' pole hanging out of the passenger side window. sideways out the window.
saw another about a week before that with plywood on a car roof covering almost all the windshield. tied with a single piece of twine.
and the sad part is, there's a cop sitting in the parking lot watching these people drive away like that

I can't remember for sure, but it was atleast a couple years ago.....I saw a 70's-ish Olds delta 88 with trunk lid open and a 30 foot or so 5th wheel RV camper trailer  mounted inside the trunk.  Darndest thing I ever seen on the highway.

That picture never gets old. Last year I saw a group of guys trying to load a tractor into the bed of a Ranger. First off, the deck was too wide to fit in the bed. Second off, the ramps were so short they had at least a 40* angle to battle.

I still say done right that concept would be really cool. Done right, that is...

I've never strapped a tractor to a Cougar, but I did bring one home on a trailer missing a wheel :hick: Two years ago I bought a brand-new lawn tractor and was bringing it home on my utility trailer (towing behind the T-Bird). About 20 miles from home one of the wheels was swallowed up by a huge pothole and the tire blew. I had no spare and it was raining hard as hell out thanks to a tropical storm, and I was not about to leave a brand new tractor I'd just paid $1600 for on the side of the road, so I continued merrily on my way. After less than a mile I lost the tire, and the rim disintegrated a few miles after that. By the time I got it home there was nothing left except half a hub (it wore flat after it stopped spinning) and the U-bolts on the spring were worn almost completely off. You should have seen the looks I was getting as I dragged it through the small village of Kennetcook, past the grocery store, gas station, bank, and hardware store :evilgrin: Made it home though :D And the T-Bird's 5.0 had no problem dragging the pegleg trailer.

The only thing that made it possible was the rain - I'm sure that had it been dry there would have been a shower of sparks behind me that would have eventually caught the trailer's wooden deck on fire (and probably the woods, too)...

I don't know why that pic didn't show up when I first looked at this thread, but a guy I know did one even worse last weekend changing the oil in his Saturn. I pulled into his driveway to see how his trip went (He'd just driven said Saturn from Nova Scotia through to California, then across to Florida, then back to NS - he left Dec 1 and just came back last weekend). He had a cinder block lying on the ground, a two-by-four lying against it, and the Saturn driven halfway up the two-by-four (the weight of the car was on the wood, not even on the cinder block - and the cinder block was lying on its side in the non-weight-carrying orientation). I didn't take a pic but the setup was like this:
