Exactly why some people should never tow a trailer.
My brother had the hitch pop off while driving. Fortunately no damage to the car and the chains held the trailer. He has the trailer at the shop getting checked out and seeking to make it less awkward says to the shop owner 'does this happen to trailer owners a lot?' Guy's answer: 'Only once.'Exactly why some people should never tow a trailer.
I tow a small camper and always - ALWAYS triple check the hitch connection and the safety chains. I double check them every time I take a rest stop too. It's also very important to make sure tires are in good shape and properly inflated.My brother had the hitch pop off while driving. Fortunately no damage to the car and the chains held the trailer.

Alternately...PADUCAH - A local man has taken automotive innovation to a new level by crafting a Lamborghini entirely out of wood. The hand-carved masterpiece, painted a vibrant red, now proudly occupies a prime spot in front of his home.
“I always dreamed of owning a Lamborghini,” explained Billy Grubbs, 32. "But my budget said ‘sawdust’ instead of ‘supercar.’ So I found some old wooden pallets and started cutting them up to make this beauty.”
The wooden Lambo, complete with hand-painted details and faux leather seats, has become a neighborhood sensation. “It’s got all the style without the speed bumps,” said Grubbs.
His wife Heather is equally thrilled. “Billy’s creativity knows no bounds,” she said. “Who needs a real Lamborghini when you have a handcrafted one that doubles as garden furniture?”
Local car enthusiasts are left wondering if this is the future of high-end automotive design—or just a really cool piece of outdoor décor.
This is a developing story.

I mean, yeah, it has tighter gaps and functioning lights, and it apparently moves under its own power, but... come on, it's not even red.
Just go around the corner, that'll dump it
I find it disturbing because the "shop" is empty of everything but the lift.View attachment 99471
I find this disturbing since the car is almost identical to my first new car... and it was a great car
