Unfortunately, they purchases a CUV...thinking it was a SUV and a modest trailer around 24’ to 28’ long...based on advice from these freebie forums. It was hard to get them to understand that their SUV was a CUV and it was basically a Camry...buddy didn’t know either (his PhD is in bio-tech), but once he understood, they came around
Received a phone call late one night from buddy and wanted me to drive him to help his parents.
They almost lost is during a storm out on central valley’s 99
Buddy almost lost it and had to slow down. This buddy used to beat me out on track days with his RX7 and better at drifting than me...
