While driving to Panama City one year we came up behind a rv towing an older F150.

The gentleman had forgotten to disengage the parking brake.

The smoke was pouring out of both wheel wells.

I repeatedly flashed my lights. Honked etc. He waved at us!

We headed south, he went east. He was headed for a bad morning.

Unless you are backing up to the West when the moon is overhead.

Why RV’s should still use CB radios!

I saw a video like that only the person making the video DID stop the RVer and told them. The RVer continued!

That was an interesting one. For those that have not seen it, https://youtu.be/vZFCHk1XCDY.

Took a while because I was looking at the tires. After noticing the oddity my second thought was.. man what a blind spot that thing must have. I must be old, that is one of my main criteria in cars now.

Yep, not a coupe or a sedan.

It is a 2017 Hyundai Veloster

Hmm, the Pacer "helped" AMC become part of what is now Fiatysler!

Ah yes! A model for the dad that needs to appear to still have his reproductive organs intact but offer a sensible curb side entrance for the wife and curtain climbers. LOL...

I noticed the smaller window on the driver side but never noticed the door. I figured you would not need a larger window because you cannot see out it anyway. Interesting...

At least judging by the number of door handles, I only see two.

Interesting. When I had my 3 door Saturn coupe, I always thought it would have made more sense to have the 3rd door on the passenger's side than the driver's.

Correct, that is a Windsor Ford Engine, the Chevy had a 350 and it has been so long since I owned a decent chevy I forgot the displacement.
