I don't know who's dumber, the guy doing the sliding or the Tesla owner who thought it best to get people to leave their protective cage milliseconds before a slow speed impact.

Tesla owner knew that the car would catch on fire and the passengers would panic and not be able to remove the speaker grille, with the Tesla tool that requires a subscription, reach inside the door to the right, or left if you're on the passengers side, or is it the other way around? And then reach up to find the small wire that might either be the plebian manual door release or might be the speaker wire, pull with a sufficient amount of force but not too much or you'll just pull the wire out and........... Then burn to death.

I had a beater Paseo where the right turn signal had to be on to start it. The person I bought it from bought it like that, and claimed the seller said it was done on purpose to act as a kill switch, but it seemed janky as hell and I'm not convinced it wasn't somehow a wiring issue.

I had an Audi 80CC where I could put it in reverse, then pull out the key, and it would keep running. Put it in neutral or any other gear, and the engine would stop.

These guys are hustling, buying cars that have zero value in the US and hauling to Mexico where they'll have every last drop wrung out of them. IIRC, a triple tow is legal in a lot of US states, but a quad-tow isn't. At least anywhere I know of. Even if these guys passed through a state where triples aren't legal, highway patrol just wants them through & out of their jurisdiction so they become someone else's problem. Pulling them over and handing out tickets/impounding for unsafe operation just means you've wasted your time and a tow driver's time, and your impound yard now has three more junk vehicles that will never be claimed. These operators aren't exactly registered with the DOT, anyway, and I've never seen them driving so fast they'd create much of a problem if something broke loose.

At least the triple tow driver is discouraged from making sudden moves.

I hope I one day find a picture of my dad's forestry setup from the 80s. He had a tiny Terri 30 forestry machine. He hauled it with Opel Record and a small single axle trailer. He put the Terri on the trailer and the Terri's own trailer rode behind. I think he was stopped only once by police in the boonies.

I looked at the image first and initially thought the scale was significantly larger than reality - the lights? intakes? on the brow ridge below the handlebars looked to be windows. That thing looks like it's hilarious fun to ride on.

A coworker transplant from Michigan even called the highway patrol first time he saw one and they told him as long as it wasn't more than 5 cars and the rear one had some kind of functional brake lights, there wasn't much they could do. But something must have changed de jure or de facto, I never see more than 3 these days.

Looks to me the slab split. Should be a ~4-6" slab under the lift for a 4 ton f250.

Yeah that looks like the anchors ruptured the concrete a few inches down in the center and the fracture propagated upwards at an angle towards the surface. We really can't tell how deep the concrete is or what strength it was or if there's any rebar from this picture. This is why I'm very very uncomfortable about 2 posts with no lower or upper frame between the posts, and using wedge lock anchors. It might meet spec but it doesn't take much to create a really bad day. I plan on running a ton of rebar and actual footings for any lift I get, ideally with mounting plates poured into the concrete using long J bolts looped into the rebar cage, because I want to implicitly trust the thing I'm using to support a 3 ton paperweight I'm standing under.
