Default What not to do when you move

Be very sure if you ever load your car on a trailer that the ramps are locked! I must say i was in a bit of a hurry and i had checked the ramps, but apparently the driver's side one moved between wheels then fell when the rear tire pulled on it. Luckily i yanked the EB, stuck in gear and killed. it dangled nicely for an hour or two until the most wonderful person i've ever met (the tow truck driver) came and jacked it up, put on the ramp and up she went w/o so much as a scratch....

The tears were welling about right then...


sob, sob

No damage at all. I was able to stop the car while the passenger side was supported by its ramp and lock the rear end enough to keep the drivers side front tire from completely falling off the end of the trialer. i don't think the ekg test i did a few years ago compared in heart rates to that day

btw, i think that this is the biggest testament to the stiffness of the chassis because as far as i could tell the front suspension was fully extended and the front lip didn't look uneven with the trailer at all
