towing a vw home to make another dune buggy we had no doors, no seats, no brakes. just a frozen engine to try and stop. so little brother wants to pretend he's sking or something and starts cutting side to side in the vw. I'm shaking my finger at him from the tow car and all of a sudden he's gone. lost control from dicking around, took a corner about 45, hit the curb which threw him off his fancy 5 gallon bucket seat, tossed him across the yard, car rolled upside down on some lady's lawn. but not before taking out her mailbox. we're crying from laughing so hard and the woman was a *****in about her mailbox. rolled it back over, stuck the mailbox back in the ground and took off. just another day in our world. although towing a go cart frame with 2 riding over the top of a 30 ft levee with 60 ft of rope tied to it was fun, for me. especially when they came flying straight over the levee about 30mph and found I had made a sharp right turn. didn't know someone's eyes could get so big. there's the time a skidloader rolled off the back of my trailer on the bridge at 60mph. that was fun guiding it down with my bumper a hundred feet of so until it came to a stop. my brother was towing a trailer with his little jeep hauling a humoungous flywheel from an Atlas engine that weighed 5+ times more than the jeep. bigger than the jeep! so he manages to lose the flywheel after the trailer starts fishtailing on the top of the 2 lane bridge at noon backing up traffic for miles. he rode the jeep up on top of the rails before everything came to a stop. only 100-150 drop a few inches away. adventures like driving 40 miles towing my trailer, looking back to back it up and it's not there! losing boats off trailers. my father towed his seaplane to the ramp, got out and watched everything, truck and all roll into the middle of the river. we have fun down here anyway we can. towed my brothers mustang 4-5 miles after he flipped it 5 times end for end at about 130. flattened the rims, broke the axle so it sat flat on the ground. made quite a noise dragging it down the highway getting it home before the cops came. got a few more towing adventures with my brother. somehow we never got hurt. even towing bath tubs and pirouges behind the truck while we took turns riding. gets a little hairy around 50. one more.. my father insisted he tow my uncle riding in the boat down the bayou during a hunting trip.. in 25Degree weather.. behind his seaplane.. guess what happened next
