Oddest thing ive ever hauled:

There was one night last year that i was the DD and went to pick up a couple friends downtown. However, when i pulled off of Pine Street (the bar street), there were, including me , 27 people in, on, or somehow holding onto my truck. 2 were sitting on top of the cab with their legs dangling over the windshield, the bed/toolbox was packed, cab had like 8 or 9 in it (including some hott chick with a SHORT skirt sitting in my lap while i was driving). I know lots of the cops that roam around downtown, so i got permission from one of them, and he said that he trusted me and that if i got pulled over that i would not get a ticket. Fun ride home let me tell ya,i really wish i had a couple pics of that night. When i drove by the library i noticed the sprinklers were on full blast, so I pulled up on the sidewalk and everyone got soaked ...hehe.....

Ahh, college.

 

About 500 teddy bears! They were stuffed under the bed cover and in the backseat.... Didn't weigh a whole lot, but sure took up a lot of space!

They were all given to the local police and fire department. They use them to hand out to the kids that are involved in whatever emergency response they are called on..... The kids really seem to be able to cope better when they can focus their attention on the toy and not the emergency.... My wife does the collecting, but I'm more then happy to help deliver!

 

I am not making this up!

Last winter, my wife's grandmother died, she was staying with her daughter (my wifes aunt) in a suburb of Montreal.

Granny lives in Ontario.

The aunt is a doctor, and a kook (IMHO)

So granny is propped up in a wing chair, dead as a door **** in the living room, enjoying the warmth from the fireplace.

The aunt (the kook) offers the next door neighbor a couple hundred bucks to help load granny into the backseat of her station wagon.

Aunt drives the 100 miles from Montreal Quebec, to granny's hometown in Ontario, and promptly takes her to the hospital and says "oh my God, granny passed away during the car ride"

Anyways, the aunt (did I mention she was a kook?) She gets a butt reaming from the police who were called because they were very suspicious with her tale.

She later admitted she only drove her across the border to avoid the mountains of paperwork and red tape.

So, aunt got a small slap on the wrist for being a dumbass, and granny now rests in peace in a cemetary in Cornwall.

True story, scouts honour!!

BTW, granny was 96 when she died, and drove a motorcycle right up until her 65th birthday, and drove a car well into her 80's, she was one of a kind.

 

Before I got a truck I hauled a washer machine and a dryer in my 92 stang. had to take out of the boxes and leave the hatch open. The seats were all the way forward and the backs were tipped forward. The passenger had to shift for me.
Using my truck and pulling my 16' car trailer loaded with a shed hanging over both sides and a swing set. Drove down main street with on coming cars pulling on the side walk to let me pass. only had 4 miles to drive.

 

In a car:
It would have to be a Honda 175 motorcycle in the trunk of a '72 Grand Turino...or...The cat, rat, 3 goldfish and 3 foot cactus plant I hauled in an '87 cougar (not in the trunk!) when we moved from Florence, OR to Westport, WA!

In a truck bed:
Snow. When we lived in Cordova, AK I would clear the snow from around my truck, sometimes there was no place left to throw it so I'd shovel it in the bed and haul it out the road to shovel it out of the bed into a ditch somewhere...or...A gas powered R/C airplane with a 6 foot wingspan, hauled in my truck, out to the spot where my son flew it...or...12 sliding glass door panels, taking them to store at my folks house until I get a place I can build a greenhouse. Boy that put a load on an '85 Ranger!

 

wild-mtn-rose :

I hauled a 250 KZ in the back of a Geo Storm from Pennsylvania to South Carolina!!! too funny!!!



I've moved a piano from Pennsylvania to Virginia to South Carolina to Colorado to Missouri... does that seem strange to anyone?

 

Well I really haven't hauled anything to odd in the truck. Just my dirtbike and my cousin used the truck to tow a 1950's dodge pickup.

I hauled my cousin's KDX 125 in the trunk of my buick park ave. That was a fun ride. Every pedestrian and motorist gave me the strangest looks.

 

Shuda left the gate down and maybe she'd blow away!

 

I forgot about this one... My friend and I moved a piano, an organ, and other assorted furnature from his house to his step dad's. We set up ramps to get the piano out of the house (like a 1.5 foot drop) and then we took 15' orange tie straps, and lifted the thing into my bed using an engine hoist. I have the pics somewhere, I'll post them later.

 

The reason I bought a bedcover was so I wouldn't have to help anyone move.. I ended up having to take it off to bring my TV home.. LOL

 

defn worth taking the cover off tho id say

 

Aha, so a motorcycle in the trunk of a car isn't as unusual as I'd expected!! As for the piano, I have an odd story about hauling a piano. It wasn't hauled very far, about 200 yards from my folks basement door to their front yard. Our wedding was in the yard and my sister was our piano player but the piano is an old up-right with a cast iron sounding board so it's very heavy. It took 5 men to put it in the truck and when they arrived in the yard with it they decided they were not going to unload it just to have to load it back up in a couple of hours. So, my sister sat in the back of the truck and played the wedding march and my folks dog walked dad and I down the aisle!! It was definitely a wedding to remember!!
