Saw this pickup towing an RV on the interstate on my way home. They where headed the other way lumbering along way slower than traffic.

Picked up the family and headed in to town for dinner and there it was at the gas station. Got to wonder what they where thinking.

My guess is they are thinking ,maybe this wasn't as good a bargain as we thought,maybe we should have bought a camper that was designed to be towed

That motor home looks like the rollng meth lab right out of the Breaking Bad movie set. That would be the only reason to tow that hepatitis B factory.

I saw a guy on the interstate Friday with a full size Chevy pulling a flat bed diesel truck that had a car on the bed of it. Talk about punishing a pick up. He was hooked up to it with a chain too, don't know what the rules are elsewhere but if you have a car in tow on the interstate here it is supposed to be hooked with a tow bar. No chains or straps.

The tow in the origanal post is with a chain in a V pattern.
I've towed and been towed on a chain but never on the interstate and never that close together.

Not sure what it is but I'm drawn to this type of stupid like a moth to the flame.
Been watching those Russian dash cam videos on youtube today.
Its like porn for motor heads.

That's quite a puddle under that truck and the rest of the lot looks dry. I think he killed it. :oops:

I heard a plausible explination for the whole Russian style of driving.
The currant generation is the 1st generation to have access to cars.
Big thanks to the communist ideology of making everyone equally poor.
So there are a bunch of drivers who didn't have there parents scold them for driving like a dunbass while they where learning to drive.
Now teenage drivers think its normal to drive that way.

Taking this line of thinking one step further, you would think Russia would be the first place to adopt self driving cars.
A car that crashes as often as my Pc at work has got to be better than what is on youtube.
