Load'em up

Hi folks,

I took this photo yesterday morning in a Safeway parking lot. No, it has not been PhotoShopped.

Anybody know the gross weight limit of a Ford Taurus?

I can't believe that car can even move!

With the crumple on back side I dont believe it will be... & the Taurus can support a trailer hitch (guess that would be too much effort & sense). Jerry will you be going back daily to see how log this stays parked there? & or posting the upcoming news report of the impending incident?

I'd love to see the DOT truck inspectors with that one. :roflblack:

It's probably higher than a VW Beetle's:

I dunno the gross weight limit, but I think he's gone just a tiny amount over it, & he'd better pray that he doesn't need to get the spare tire out!! :yikes::yikes:

He's obviously driven a while to get there tho!? The rear quarter panel has collapsed; & if I'm seeing it right, the roof dropped in a little when he opened the door - so it might be a tad hard to close the door again!!! :shocked:

Where the **** do people ever get the idea that doing that to a car will work?? Surely the dents & buckling panels woulda been a tiny little give-away that driving it far would only collapse it even more?? :banghead:

Hi Bfromla,

Re: Jerry will you be going back daily to see how log this stays parked there? & or posting the upcoming news report of the impending incident?

I got the idea at the time that he was just waiting to drive away. A couple of hours later, he was gone.

This has always been one of my favorites. Home Depot loaded this for the guy. There is 800 lbs. of ready-crete in the back seat to go with all this lumber in a VW Jetta. Here is a link to the full story.

Yeah, but they did make him 'sign a waiver' before they loaded it up!! :yikes:

You know what that piece of paper is worth in court....

I don't know how the car's roof supports the load. As Peter A. said, maybe it doesn't!

We see vehicles (and I say that loosely) like that here in Tucson heading south to the border and loaded

somewhat like that except with more stuff. :yikes:
