The sky's the limit

Saw this wonderful rig at a Wal-Mart in Asheboro NC this weekend. Absolutely no wdh and a trailer at least 35' long. The front tires barely looked like they were touching the ground.

Whoa! And imagine if those bikes belong to them! Or maybe they ride along as escorts?

With those cheap wheels/hubcaps that looks like a Missouri State Highway Patrol Yukon. LOL

Just a hint, don't run from a MHP Yukon. Them suckers are FAST!

" To the moon Alice, To the moon, bang zoom" Yep that's what's going to happen first good bump on the highway except it will be to the ditch Alice, to the ditch and probably take some innocent person out too. Stupid.

Not as such. After my truck was stolen, it was involved in a high-speed pursuit. The local under-sherriff (who I know casually) called to tell me they recovered it. In the conversation, he asked me if I had "souped the truck up". As nonchalantly as possible, i replied "well... it ain't stock" For reference, I got $5500 in just the transmission. If I ever tallied up exactly how much I have in the motor, I would probably need new underwear.

He went on to tell me that of the 14 vehicles and 5 departments in the chase, the only things that would keep up with it was the stateboy's Yukons. Oh, and the STL county helicopter, lol. I asked what about the Crown Victoria Police Interceptor that the department runs, and he said that the Yukons would walk all over the Crown Vics. He said they are crazy fast. Apparently, the stateboys have to pass some sort of advanced driving test to get a Yukon, otherwise they get issued a Crown Vic, or now a Dodge Charger

Why would it be deleted? It was funny and seemed harmless, isn't "That Camper's Owner" fictitious?

Bet you a dollar if you asked him how it pulls you'd get something along the lines of: "Great! Can't even tell it's back there! Never get any sway!" Just for reference, that hitch is apparently holding up probably close to 1K when it's rated for-most likely- 500.
