Nice one, I laughed!

Here's one I spotted on a ferry a couple years ago, demonstrating how quality used cars are transported from Western Europe to, well, Eastern Europe:

Latest tend around here is put one on a trailer and use all that space on the roof for another car. A little car on car on trailer action.

I keep seeing groups of four or five pairs of cars on the interstate here. It's usually a truck (often a compact Toyota) towing another, followed by some economy cars towing economy cars. Nothing nice, generally. The pickups and towed cars are usually loaded with stuff. Everything is kinds tired looking, and every windshield is marked "in tow".

I assume they're transporting cars for low end dealerships, but suvs and minivans are rare, and compact pickups are really common.

When I lived in South Texas, you'd see a (usually) full size pick-up pulling one or two S-10/Ranger trucks, on their way to Mexico.

I wonder if they're selective in what they tow, or just indifferent toward towing related drivetrain damage.

A few weeks back I saw a tired-looking 3500 series Ram pulling a gooseneck with six cars and trucks on the back. I know they can haul a lot, but that seems at the limit!

that might be pushing it, given that i think the biggest 1 ton trucks brag about a 20,000 pound towing capacity..

but why does everyone like to make fun of people that use their trucks as trucks? it might look kinda goofy to see a truck in the back of a truck, but as far as the truck doing the hauling is concerned it's just another load and sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do to get the job done..

some of you would probably do a spit take if you saw a brand new semi tractor pulling 2 other brand new semi tractors down the interstate- the 2 being towed look like they are humping each other while also humping the truck doing the towing..
