I found this on another forum and LMAO while I pictured this guy dragging this truck behind his motorhome.

This picture and text was posted to a message board 11-28-05 by a dealer in Reno, NV.
"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."

Naw prolly just some senile old man... I could see my grandpa do that with his motor home and his chrylser minivan... :rolf Thank god they don't tow it behind the motorhome otherwise he'd be buying another new one (the one they have is a '05 Stow and Go with 3500mi on it) But I'd still laugh at him when he had it towed to our Dodge dealership to get it fixed... :rolf

Like I said I'm thinking he's a Senile old man... Heck if I felt something like that dragging behind my motorhome (if I had one) I'd know to stop... I probably wouldn't even start with that much resistance... I'd get out and check what I broke... lol
