If this is your boat, says tow weight is 2542. Add any personnel

stuff and

weight goes up.



You just aren't going to let it go, are you? He's legal, you can do

what

you want with your boat, let him do what he wants with his.



I just want people to be able to stop their trailers when traffic

stops! I

would hate to be hit by some idiot without enough brakes on the

trailer or

tow vehicle. I see these tow ratings of 5000# or so one a

lightweight,

underpowered tow vehicle. My S10 Blazer had that 5000# rating. It

barely

stopped itself!



Donnie has convinced himself that his car will stop an extra 2000 lb or

so without the benefit of trailer brakes. I sure hope he's right for

his wife's sake and the sake of those he shares the highway with. I

personally don't care if his boat decides to come through hie rear

window. Some folks are bent on getting their education from the school

of hard knocks.



Yeah, but if some idiot like that hits you and hurts your family what

are you going to do? I say driving heavy is as bad as driving drunk or

texting, you are taking others lives into your hands for your own

selfish reasons..



I guess I would become his educator.



I have a history of going a bit further when I feel someone has tried to

kill me or hurt my family... Just sayin'. If I ever do fight again it

will be someone that screwed with my kids bike or someone who tries to

kill me on the highway.



I'll call you if I need you.


So Hankie, you remember L'il Snot's threats to kill me if I ran into
his vehicle while towing my new boat with the RAV4 last year....

That's not what was said at all, but do go on.... I said if somwone as
irresponsible as you, hit us, I would react... Never said anything about
"going to you"... Going to beat the **** ouf of someone and not showing
up, is your thing....



even though he's at least a thousand miles from me.
If you and he are so nervous about my towed rig I'd advise y'all to
stay out of my way. Just sayin'.


Oh, yes you did say that!


And most people cut off towing vehicles. See an extra space and fill it,
especially on freeway off ramp areas.


Yup, they kill us. You try to be responsible, specially in traffic and
leave some room when the car in front of you starts moving, but if you
do, five cars will jump the line leaving you and everyone behind you
sitting there.... on a hill :(

Yesterday you mentioned other posters family members.


You used to be so predictable, but now your insanity cycles are starting to merge.


That can't be a good sign.




Go **** yourself TN. You are being a bigger asshole than Scott these days!



I'd return the favour and tell you to do the same, Kalif but I doubt you could get it up these days.

No problem in my AWD Cayenne.

Thought you were the big shot with two BMWs.
Repo'd eh?
If I had two BMW that were repossessed how could I get a Porsche
Cayenne? I do have a Z4, too, if you really must know.


I'd thought about getting a Z4 to take back and forth to the golf course,
rather than that big
truck. Seems like I'd save a lot on fuel.


I thought of getting a small car to run around town in, but insurance and
depreciation and license, make it cost ineffective,


Actually, I was kidding about the Z4. Cute, but a little costly for trips to the golf course. If I
could pick up a cheap Corolla or Civic, in the $1200 range, I'd consider it. Wouldn't worry about
depreciation and just carry liability. It would have to be in good enough shape to last another ten
years.

I always tell the wife.. If we win lotto, I want a 36-42 coupe... I like
the ones they put a new engine and brakes, etc... but leave the car
looking pretty much stock on the outside.... Just for my every day
driver... Original "looking" paint with some age would be perfect...

I have kept my health up, I stay employed, I provide for my family very
nicely, and I have quite a bunch of toys. So, I'd say that I'm quite
fulfilled. You can say none of the above about yourself.
