Had to pick up about 3 and a half ton of stuff from the BB store today, so rather than several 20 mile RT's with my 3/4 ton trailer, I hooked up a wagon took a ride thru town with the tractor. Got there and was loading when this guy pulls around with a new SLK Mercedes (sport/luxury Klass)
convertable. took the headrest off the passenger seat, let the top down, and loaded about 20 sheets (2'x8') of drywall, some 2x2's, bag of stucco, and a couple other things. Trw tie straps around the whole car/load, and away he went.... ...... Can only think it was a rental or a lease.....

They was a farmer around my town who won the lottery, It was not uncommon to see a Jaguar with a bale of hay sticking out of the trunk.

Ron in NS · Mar 26, 2012

Either that, or more money than brains. I knew some horsey people 'round here like that. (not to insult horsey people, I am one myself)

Took a job at HD a few years back for something to do, and I could tell you some real stories about morons who came in there with every type of vehicle and tied stuff on the roof, put things in the box, and strapped crap to the side. 12 foot 2X4's thru the rear windows, pallet of mortar on top of a box load of sand in an F150, 20 or so sheets of drywall taped on to the roof of a VW bug. A trailer made from an old small boat trailer with a load of 3/4 plywood and 2X's, made to carry a 500 lb. boat and motor with about a ton of wood on it. The doctor with about 30 2X4's stuck thru the sunroof of his Beemer, and the one end of the lumber on the passenger side floor. Or the dumb bunny who tried to strap a large, preassembled BBQ grill on top of his Mustang GT and broke the rear window out trying to tie it down, and then wanted the manager to pay for a new rear window and paint job. Darwin missed something, because they survived far past their time---

I worked for a rendering company for 11 years. One of the legends about
the founder of one of the firms I worked for is he bought a new
Cadillac and proceeded to take the trunk lid off so he could haul more
grease barrels with it. The Darwin comment is off base, our government
and lawyers have applied reverse selective pressure on our gene pool to
insure there are more stupid people out there that they can protect to
insure business for them at our expense.

Usta be a farmer nearby, had about 800 acres of corn, had good machinery. Had this self image of a young with it guy. Drove a new 60s Chevy el-Camino. Hardly ever washed it, and more than once saw him pulling full size Anhydrous tanks out of town.

Dave FYI,

In or around 1962 the Beatles invaded the US and the boys started growing long hair.

In 1967, while going to college, was the first time I heard the term RED NECK.

The long hairs, the hippies, called those with short hair, RED NECKS, because the sun tanned their necks.

From there the term redneck has taken on many diffferent meanings.

Now you know the beginning of the story. Every time I hear someone use redneck, I still think of short hairs.

You are right, it still had the same meaning, red neck was a sun burned neck, short hair.

Tim in OR · Mar 26, 2012

One time while headed towards portland. I saw something ahead in traffic that looked like a small pickup with a load of pallets, towing a small car. When I got closer I saw that it was really a small hatchback car with a stack of pallets (12 or so)on the roof. They were tied down with one piece of twine. To top it off, the back window was broken out and a large pallet was sticking diagonal thru the opening.

Working at our local farm store, guy pulls up in a little hatchback car to pick 100ft of feild tile. Gets out of the car says "Thats alot bigger than i though" tied down to the roof of his car the bundle was bigger then the car itself.

Few years ago a guy--from Pakistan, I think---bought out a thriving little rural convenience store just down the road from me. Since that time the store has ceased to thrive, and apparently the jobbers will no longer drop gas for his pumps. The guy was recently arrested (don't know what charge---stupidity is unfortunately neither a felony or misdemeanor) because he was hauling something like 400 gallons of gasoline in his van. He was buying the gas at Walmart, pumping it into some kind of big plastic tank inside his van. He intended to dump it into his station tanks in order to be able to serve the few gas customers he had left. Walmart alerted the authorities.
