OK, smarties let me revise that. Try to picture this going down the highway...on the back of a 1970 fiat spider. Read the first few lines of the CL ad.

I don't have time right now to photoshop that dresser on the back of a Fiat so try to imagine.

Good grief! The legs would had to have been draped over the quarter panels. Hope they had a luggage rack. :shock: I think they exceeded the 300 lb limit for luggage though.

I tried, but I keep seeing two puppies playing in a meadow. It's unbelievable what people will try to put in (or on) a car. Just sit in a Home Depot parking for a while. I once bought a '81 Renault Encore that the PO had used to move all of her worldly possessions from MI to GA. The rear shocks were completely busted. Must have been a heck of a ride.

Well, I grew up in Kentucky and come to think of it I've probably seen crazier things driving down the freeway, or up it for that matter. I'll second that about the Home Depot parking lot, seen some questionable things tied to the top of cars, especially when you go to the HD in down town Chicago. Its even scarrier driving behind someone when the passenger's hand is holding down the three 4'x8' pieces of lattice on top of the car.
