    Give me a break!!

    Snow removal laws. D.O.T. inspections. Tickets for chicken lights being out. ETC ETC ETC We all know that the government, both state and federal, sort of "Pick" on commercial trucks.

    What is BAD is that they see not to give a rat's patootee about private cars/trucks etc. Want to see some proof? Look at the pics below. Those straps were being used to hold the roof on this camper. And they have the GAUL to right some of the tickets that they dump on us. Enjoy the pics!!!

    They were taken today in a Wally World parking lot just a bit north of Louisville, KY. I am sorry to say that the mess had Michigan plates. Makes me ashamed to be from there.

    Re: Give me a break!!

    Could be, that mess could have used at least 3 roles!! I have not seen a rig this bad for a really long time. The tire where shot too. The left front axle of that "van" was broken and leaning out from the bottom. I cannot even imagine towing that thing, it could not track very well.

    Re: Give me a break!!

    Isn't that a "B" unit behind the...whatever? Can't tell if it is set up to push or is it being towed. It looks like the result of someone that wouldn't say no to cheap freight. As far as the Michigan Tags, don't be ashamed...they were stolen.

    Re: Give me a break!!

    I think the next time I get "gigged" on a D.O.T. for something silly like a "chicken Light" being out I will pull these pics out and ask the officer why he is picking on my when things like this are on the road all the time. LOL!! No, I know they have no jurisdiction over private vehicals and I know if I did pull them out they would REALLY get on me, but, don't it just fry you to see this kind stuff on the roads? Can you imagine if you had a wreck with this? Think they are the kind to NOT have insurance, or worse yet, the kind that carries around the business cards of 73 lawyers?

    LOL. It looks like someone is living large on their "social security check!" Perhaps these people failed to plan for their retirement and are traveling the country "ghetto style!" You can't blame them for trying to be outgoing RV types. Lets just hope they have adequate insurance and a working parking break so their house doesn't roll of the grand canyon!

    I could not get a clear picture of the cardboard sign in the rear window of that thing. It read: "Slumin RV" They sure got that right. An accident waiting to happen.

    Nah, what happened is the Republican's closed down the ghetto housing in Los Angeles County and the Democrats just put wheels on the individual units in order to shuffle them sround from County to County so that they can avoid being condemned!
