Talk about heavy loads!

Sorry if this has made the rounds here, but it was new to me and thought I’d share it. Truly unbeleiveable.

    Yes, it's been posted before but it still brings back memories.  Such as the time Home Depot required me to sign a waiver before loading 2 sheets of birch-faced 3/4" plywood and one side-by-side refridgerator on top of my Toyota Corolla (with Yakima racks and 1000-pound nylon straps).  Went fine for the 160-mile drive home although the accleration and breaking were noticeably diminished.

    Truck?  I don't need no stinkin truck!
