Pics of project cars on trailers, or trailer selfies

In reply to Stampie :

Stampie, you are supposed to be posting a picture of a Citicar on a trailer on its way home.

In reply to matthewmcl :

Damn it man find me one.  All I can find are top speed limited ones.

In reply to Stampie :

The guy who bought this has tried to give me his other one twice. The danger is still there.

Just add more batteries to get the voltage up, it'll go faster.

From what I hear it's like crack.  There's no going back from a 10 psi DSM.  Next thing you know you're doing 20 psi and rebuilding every 4g63 you can get your hands on.

Despite the fact I'm going to spend plenty of time working on it, I'm trying to avoid driving it as much as possible. Finally putting those stupid DARE classes to use I guess.

Project for Mrs. Skinny.  Matches my own Accent!

750mi round trip was fun. 

The latest terrible addition

(This is a hotlink. In addition to selling over-priced vintage Porsches, this company offers trailers. This pic was either something for the Hotlinks thread or this one. I decided to post here).

I'm very curious if you had to back up that dolly / car combination. I used one of those recently and wasn't able to back that thing in a straight line even when I started out perfectly lined up. 
I have never had trouble with trailers large or small. Hell, I've even backed up large aircraft with no trouble. That dolly kicked my ass. I refused to give up for over an hour. Even had neighbors watching and laughing (and giving advice, which was worse than laughing).

Not a good time, my FIL can back up multiple grain wagons which articulate the same way but as much as I've tried I've never been able to back up a loaded dolly

Parts car haul this time.

Not mine but saw it today while driving on 95 through a storm

I read once (probably on GRM) that you cannot/should not attempt to back a loaded dolly because [physics]. I did not fully comprehend the reason why and tried it once. I accidentally scrubbed years worth of tread off of one of uhaul's tires that way. 

Just another project trailer by itself at a gas station.

I did, and boy it was not fun, it took me a hot second to figure it out. 

Picked up Prius #6 today:

I was at work at the time, but my son grabbed this pic of my latest IAAI purchase being dropped off:

In reply to All of the Above : 

Am I the only one that crosses the rear straps? 

Maybe I'm anal, but I get out and check things at 1, 10 & 100 miles too.  The only time I didn't cross the rears, was towing to Florida.  Checked everything out when leaving SC, but in south GA the right rear tire was half way off the side of the trailer.

In reply to 914Driver :

Crossing the straps is a legal requirement for the commercial guys. Still see plenty uncrossed, but it is a good idea as well as the law.

Parts! And sadly in better shape than the one I'm putting back on the road, but this one is wrecked.
