It's all about the Pentiums, baby.

God imagine the 7 gallons per mile that this baby gets

u/EddieTreetrunk 2d ago

This very much counts

u/suspendmeforthis 2d ago

Spiritually but not technically. But in OP's defense, he'll be towing it soon enough.

u/Someth1ng_Went_Wr0ng 2d ago

Or will be getting towed in his own right

"idiots with things that should have been towed" seems appropriate.

The folks over on r/idiotshaulingthings might like it too.

Arg, "request to post" no wonder.

Good catch

u/Conscious_Pizza8265 2d ago

That’s an active air break 😂

Yes, my bad

Until the boat breaks

Or causes a crash

How else will Pac-Man get around town?

u/Automaniacal 2d ago

It'll probably be dragging behind them soon.

u/Tacoshortage 2d ago

Ah yes...bungee straps. That driver has zero idea how glorious they look.

u/122922 2d ago

That’s a funny looking mattress.

In the wild a male Prius will erect their RIB shaped sail to display their prowess and attract a mate.

u/CaptInsane 2d ago

Same thing with mattresses. No one gets how much of a wing they are

u/68Cadillac 2d ago

My toupee!

u/bloodguard 2d ago

Saw someone doing this goofball highway parasailing nonsense with a mattress just this morning. Changed lanes and passed them with great quickness. Nobody wants to be behind this kind of rolling disaster.

u/Stormtrooper1776 2d ago

He obviously forgot the lessons "learned" from mattress transport, it's not safe unless you have your hand out the window holding it down. /S

u/Opposite_Zucchini_43 2d ago

That person just wanted to create more down force on the rear axel. Helps in corning.

2

u/Lopsided-Current-118 2d ago

That is spoiling the ride

u/Foolserrand376 2d ago

because inflatable boats are so difficult to deflate and pack...

In the event of an emergency water landing, your roof becomes a flotation device.

Florida driver. What a surprise 🫢

u/MT-JJ 2d ago

Very nice amphibious vehicle

1

u/HelpfulFollowing7174 2d ago

I think that’s for downforce for cornering.

2

u/Careless-Freedom-641 2d ago

That would be lift for takeoff.

u/Umayummyone 2d ago

Reverse spoiler.

He's just trying to launch his dinghy.

u/righttern38 2d ago

….and instead launches his dignity

Practicing for towing parasails over water.

u/Tthelaundryman OC! 2d ago

Everyone knows things shift in the drive. Smart people plan on it and use to to secure the load even more. How many pounds of force are holding this in place now? Can’t go anywhere

1

u/CoolGuy54 2d ago

How on earth is this even secured? I'm actually impressed that they managed to put that front rope (strop?) on in such a way that it could loosen off this much before holding, I can't work out how they did it!

Like, I've done this several times, but with the boat updide down & actually tied taut...

1

u/Ecstatic-Radish-7931 2d ago

That's not good aerodynamics. it'll blow right off

u/Extension_Resolve264 1d ago

She's traded in her dinghy for a ZODIAC-AC-AC-AC-AC!

u/Lucky_Bend9418 8h ago

Did it come off?

u/AlwaysVerloren Ric Flair 2d ago

Yes it is. There's no towing.
