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

Reminds me of that scene in National Lampoons Vacation.

DOH!!!

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!

I cannot believe he didnt notice. This is what will happen when he gets the repair bill -->

I work at a R.V. park that my family owns and in all my years I have never seen someone do that. That guy deserves a award
