Speechless!
This guy dropped this off last week and I couldn't get a picture. Well today I was able to. Overheard him saying he only takes it to the lakes with it, but that is over an hour away at about 50 miles....

Yep, except they don't build those cars anymore. And nowadays there are so many more acceptable options that setups like this are unnecessary!
You seem to be missing my point. Back in the 60's it was the norm to way overload your vehicle, slug up a hill at 15 mph and stop repeatedly because its overheating. I remember going across the country when I was a teen and we would have to turn the AC off going up hills because the van was overheating. But you know what... we eventually made it up that hill, made it safely down the other side, made it to California and back. Nowadays, the RV.net police would have arrested my entire family, sentenced my dad to hard labor and sent the kids to foster families...
Just because there are "more acceptable options" doesn't mean that someone without the financial means to buy the newest, biggest and best rigs shouldn't be able to enjoy camping. All of the people who are so up in the thin air on their high horses should really calm down...
Heck, I remember the cars of the 60s and 70s overheating just getting themselves up a hill with the AC on.
I'm not in the camp that thinks you need a F-350 to pull a 5x8 utility trailer, but this guy really is overloaded and probably a danger on the road. I wouldn't be too concerned with him (or her), as that is simply Darwin at work. I'd be concerned with the other folks that are put in harms way because of him. Considering his toys, I don't think he's in financial ruin.
