Bumper-pullin' a 5er......(funny)

Came across this on an RV forum I frequent.

Figured y'all would get a kick out of this.

I just seen it tonight. I guess it's been out there for a little bit.

I didn't see it on this forum so I figured I'd post it up.

I think it was yesterday that I saw it. Not something I would try myself.

I wouldn't try it, either.

But....Dr. Doolittle's Pushmi-Pullyu comes to mind.

Toad becomes TV and Truck becomes Toad.

It wouldn't take much to rip the hitch off the back of that trailer....

Living proof that a crack head will do anything in order to afford an SUV?

Eastern block immigrant?

OH WAIT! That guy is an executive for Dollar General, and that was what they gave him for an office...

Got served with divorce papers, and the ol' lady was driving the real truck...

totally unsafe and I would steer clear of something like that.


Notice the rear of the SUV and how light it is. I can just see that dancing down the road and fish tailing.

Video stops before it leaves the parking lot.

JMO, I think this is a setup for a youtube post.

If someone seen it going down the roadways, I would think that with all the camera phones out there, it'd be on the internet somewhere.

Believe what you will... I prefer to believe that he is just another idiot that is still contributing to the gene pool...

Love the ATV pic.... Yup, might be the other guy's brother!

I don't think we need to worry about the bumper getting ripped.
I would worry more that the driver was ripped already.
He forgot where he parked the truck and thought that he would
just use his good buddies rig. All the time forgetting that he sold
the truck that night in a poker match for Beer and some markers
that he was using for betting after the rent money ran out on him.
Speaking of running out on him. The wife left with the truck.
