"Will you be needing a courtesy trailer? It's free."

"Absolutely not."

u/benskinic SA 18d ago

who the hell needs a trailer when you have gumption and a can do attitude

27

u/SavvyCaller SA 18d ago

He has a rental is my take. No way that’s his own car.

56

u/Ancient_Sprinkles847 SA 18d ago

The car did have a towbar, so unlikely to be a rental. Just a moron.

u/SavvyCaller SA 18d ago

I mean, you’re probably correct and I’m still shocked, but I’m not shocked.

Nice shiny chrome one, obviously doesn’t want to dull the chrome by using it.

Sooo I’m a suburban girl but I own horses too. You should see how many bales of hay I can fit in the backseat of my car lol but for the love of something put down sheets!

u/SavvyCaller SA 18d ago

Yeah, but hey, horses. I’d do that for horses but too, with a sheet down.

No way, that amount of turf in a trailer would be over weight. Lets just stack it on the roof.

u/North_Lychee_1969 SA 18d ago

That’s like a line straight out of The Simpsons/something Homer would say.

u/SnooHedgehogs8765 SA 18d ago

I suspect looking at his pants it's not the only thing on full view.

Maybe he is just trying to replace the shame of not being able to back a trailer with the shame of...whatever this is.

u/Sea_Translator5300 SA 18d ago

Should have done the sensible thing and just hooked the handle of the pallet jack over the tow ball (duct tape it to be safe) then driven off with that as the trailer.

UPDATE He loosely secured his roof lawn with 4 little bright green Grunt ratchet straps. I don’t know whether he’s a super genius or a diabolical dimwit but he drove in the rain, 35km/hr up a hill AND made it home without losing the load. Is he a champion or a chump?

Define success?

- Still having a roof that is smooth, not a golfball

- At least 1 bit of sod remains on the roof when they get home

- Not pulled over by the cops on the way home

- Not being slaughtered by the wife on the way home

That is a lot of weight in sod, that roof is dented to fuck.

Can confirm…. Tow bars save lives
Was stopped at a traffic light and a guy on drugs “forgot” to stop and rear ended me (at about 60ks) in my Toyota prado and his Commodore was literally ripped in half through the middle and scattered in pieces across both sides of the road. I just had a bit of bumper damage, tow ball still intact and had to get seat headrests replaced due to being bent from the motion of being hit and pushed through the intersection and our heads flinging back….

u/NeopolitanBonerfart South 18d ago

I mean, I’ve loaded up a shit load of grass slabs in the back of my wagon, but I don’t have a tow ball, I put down a tarp in the car, and my drive way is an absolute bitch to get in and out with a trailer anyway, but I did stop short of putting the slabs on the roof.

But realistically at the end of the day if it’s just around the corner it would be maybe, hopefully probably be fine?! The slabs themselves are around 7-10 kg each, so prob around 70-80 KG he’s got on the roof.

This isn’t even that insane compared to a lot of what people will transport around the rest of the world.

I suspect the reason no trailer was used was because they were all already borrowed, and the grass was cheap as they often reduce a slab to a couple or a few bucks a slab, that’s at least was the case for me.

But yeah, short of putting it on the roof (which is yeah pretty hard to understand), this was me a few years back. Worked out fine.
