Smart car being transported on roof of tow vehicle

[NHIrish]

Thought I had seen it all, but today southbound on 81 was a pickup truck hauling a fifth wheel. On the roof of the pickup truck was a red smart car.

I don't know what to say, but I want to know more about it.....you know who you are, so fill us in!

No, it's actually a courtesy thing...

Actually, the courtesy is *not* getting huffy when others post to *YOUR* thread, and/or go off topic...:S

That 5th looks like a Denali?

That is right and the 3litre diesel, cab chassis van, does not have a problem. Biggest 5ver I have seen them pull is a 38ft Redwood

Would that Denali be privately converted to meet the Aussie standards or does Denali manufacture one for there?

No they would have to be modified locally. Very few would build for Non US Standards

But sometimes those smaller objects can get out of the way better. 🙂

I value my life and my wives too much to drive such a death trap.

With all the "sage advice" you like to post, I'm surprised you didn't do your homework before making such a silly statement!.:R

Check the safety features.

Check the crash tests.

Ever ride a two wheel death trap (motorcycle)?..:S

Or - is that (also) just too risky?..:h

You willing to go head to head with me in my Dually with 1,000# chunk of Cummins cast iron under the hood?

I did my time in a VW Diesel PU 300K worth with my knees in the dash just to save a buck. 44MPG, I realized my life and my responsibility as a Husband and Father were more important!

Oh ! boy , heard it all now, ever consider how that 1,000 lb. chunk of cummins would match up with 40,000 lb chunk of semi . With your logic you need to move up to a semi, to realize your responsibility as a husband ,and father.

Why don't you read all that you quoted.

Why is it folks can't stay on topic here? No one asked how you feel about Smart cars safety or your opinion's of them. This was just about what the OP saw, period.

And we all have the right to post what we want. Block who you want or just go to another thread.

BLOCK DONE!

Sweet!

Oh darn you can't what I just typed.

Weren't you a little suspicious when your wife and kids bought you a smart car last Christmas? 😉

Yea I felt kinda bad I did not see it and crushed it with my Dually when going to Starbucks Christmas morning.

Really? People die in all kinds of vehicles including pickups every day across N.A. This car is no worse than some and better than others. A blanket statement with no facts.

They look funny beside my truck but I'd have no issue driving it to work.

I don't need anything to back up common sense! If I hit one with my dually it would be destroyed.

And if a semi hit your dually it would be destroyed. What's your point?

That was my point! The bigger object WILL WIN!

I am sorry that I digressed. I do not really like the Tone of your Post. It sounds like an Order. I do not respond well to Orders. In the Future, I would ask that you phrase your Post as a polite Request rather than sounding like you are demanding something. We have enough Moderators on this Forum already.
Thanks.

Pretty sensitive for a thread thief. 🙂

If you cannot respond with Ploiteness like I did, do not respond to me at all. Thankfully I do not have to look at any of your Posts after this.

Gee..a guy can't even stick up for his thread around here. Was that Pilot enough?
