Martin, Martin, Martin...the open fuel container was prepped for the upcoming refueling stop!

A few years ago I just about crashed my Jeep (laughing so hard) when a guy pulled out from a curb with all his camping gear wrapped up in clear plastic on the roof of his car and tied on with string...it promptly fell off (at very low speed).

The dumb and dumber will always be with us.

Mini friends!  Mini rides!

"Straps, Shmaps........          How did he get it up there? "

Just dumb-

Right at the end of the clip the pazaratzi car has an open petrol can on the back seat -  I bet that smells nice!

Straps, Shmaps........          How did he get it up there? 

Off the porch?  Up a couple of 2x4s?  Evel Knievel style?  Hoist the quad up in the rafters with those straps, and...  oops.

How do I figure?

BTW, the ones you showed are not even close to the ones he is using. Ask me how I know. But then I probably wouldn't answer.

how do you figure?

here are the same tie downs,rated at 900#'s each, that quad looks like a Honda foreman

with a

Dry Weight of

594 pounds

 taken from honda's website

so if anyhting, the straps are a little over rated for the Quad

LOVE IT !

I am a big fan of station wagons too.  We've almost always had a station wagon, or SUV or hatchback with roof racks in the lineup here @ ve9aa

His choice of tie downs are the only thing ridiculous here.

Sometimes when all one owns is a hammer all lifes problems looks like a nail.

BTW, had he gone out and purchased a F550 Turbo Diesel 4X4 4 Door with Extra Cab, would we not have equally critic him
