As seen on CZ28.com:

A customer had his SportTrack towed into our shop this morning. He was towing his SportTrack behind his Motorhome "Coach" for about 50 miles before he noticed a problem. There appeared to be a lot of sparks coming from his SportTrack. There was only one small problem, when he got his SportTrack all setup behind the motorhome he forgot to take the trans out of park. Yep he had been towing it for the last 50 miles in park. The tires were gone and the rims were half gone,must of also wore down part of the axle housing to because it was leaking. Don't know how the trans is yet

:clap:

DOH!!! :eek: I'm sure guys seen the e-mail running around about the women who had their boat out on the lake. The couldn't understand why it was siiting so low in the water & seemed sluggish. Turned out the trailer was still attached to the boat underneath. Who know's if the story was true, but this reminds me of it, although this one is 100% true!! I can't believe nobody told him while driving down the road? This will be a costly one!

We have all heard those stories about the old lady driving around with the parking brake still engaged. This will take the price. He must have some regrets.

That motorhome must have some incredible gearing and torque to drag a 4,000 lb truck like that and the driver not feel anything unusual.

Or he was having a 50 mile long "senior moment" , is the PC term for it...

I'll just say this- Just because you can afford it does not mean you know how to use it. Meaning alot of guys with RV's do not have the mental capacity to safely operate something of that size.
