This picture is real - not doctored in any way - and was taken by a Transportation Supervisor for a company that delivers building materials for 84 Lumber. When he saw it in the parking lot of IHOP, he went to buy a camera to take pictures.

The car is still running, as can be witnessed by the exhaust.

The driver finally came back after the police were called, and was found crouched behind the rear of the car, at tempting to cut the twine around the load! Luckily, the police stopped him and had the load removed.

The materials were loaded at Home Depot. Their store manager said they made the customer sign a waiver.

While the plywood and 2X4's are fairly obvious, what you can't see is the back seat, which contains – are you ready for this? – 10 bags of concrete @ 80 lbs. each.

They estimated the load weight at 3000 lbs. Both back tires exploded, the wheels bent and the rear shocks were driven through the floorboard.

I am willing to bet that Home Depot now owns this car, waiver or not.

You may be right.

What I find HILLARIOUS, is whoever it was tied all that shit on with that crappy free twine they have at the checkout stands. Like putting it on the car wasn't a bad enuff idea already .

LMAO!!!

Now that's a great way to test a ricer's load limits!

What an absolute numbskull.

I'm suprised he could even turn. When I put a few bales of hay on the back of my fourwheeler I have a hard time turning. :?

I'm also surprised that it all hasn't slid off the back yet, twine or not.


I can't believe someone would do that. That's as bad as some idiot trying to load a full size, 3500lb. truck camper onto a little 'ol LUV. :roll:

I have to find a pic of when I flipped an 84 lumber flatbed on its side when I worked there.

Those were the days.
