Overloaded Car – Almost Made It!
By Just Stupid on Sep 17, 2007 in Stupid Cars & Trucks, Stupid Drivers, Stupid Men
A famous comedian once said that stupid people should wear signs. Some people are so stupid, they should have to carry banners.
Can you believe this? Stupid is putting it mildly. Poor guy.
This picture is real – not doctored in any way – and was taken by a transportation supervisor for a company that delivers building materials for 84 Lumber. When he saw it in the parking lot of IHOP, he went to buy a camera to take pictures.
The car is still running, as can be witnessed by the exhaust.
The driver finally came back after the police were called, and was found crouched behind the rear of the car, attempting to cut the twine around the load! Luckily, the police stopped him and had the load removed.
The materials were loaded at Home Depot. Their store manager said they made the customer sign a waiver.
While the plywood and 2X4′s are fairly obvious, what you can’t see is the back seat, which contains — are you ready for this? — 10 bags of concrete @ 80 lbs. each.
They estimated the load weight at 3000 lbs. Both back tires exploded, the wheels bent and the back shocks were driven through the floorboard.
The driver planned to drive from Florida to Clanton, AL where the couple presumably planned to build a new house. Wouldn’t you love to see the house when it is finished?

Surely there’s a Lowe’s Depot in the town where they want to build the house…
