They can afford the car, but not a proper tow truck?

Not funny :nono:

I bet the owner wasn't too happy with himself.

hahahaha!! wooden planks and blocks.. lol!

what in the world made them think that would work?

If he didn't goose the throttle he would've been fine

if you have the money to purchase that car why would you cheap out on getting it delivered...

hey guys, lets sit $500k on some cinderblocks!!! Fucking morons.

wealth ≠ smarts

if anything the 2x4 he was using ruined the bumper cover...that's about it, it was a 2" drop. still retarded x 15

What's the right way to tow a low/lowered car? When I had my car towed before I had to drive it up onto the flatbed on wooden planks.

I can bet the owner wasn't there and didn't know what was happening to his car ...
Imagine his reaction when the tow company called him ... :D

Get a nice roll back with fold down ramps and a winch to reel you on. And then make sure the assholes don't overtighten the straps and overcompress your springs. :vash: :magna:

I just drive my shit up on a trailer, but if I had enough cash for a $500k car, I'm relatively certain I'd have something a little nicer than a $800 trailer to tow my shit.

yeah, that car should have been in an enclosed trailer....

This is in Moscow.

Might not be a problem for the bugatti. Doesn't it lift up for speed bumps?
Wonder how many rubels that cost him.

Hahahahaha. Illegaly parked and got his car towed? He probably got a heart attack if later he saw on the internet how did his car get to the impound lot ... he probably killed (literally) few people there after that

my favorite:

thats a nice one braineack :confused:

Comeon, just copy and paste the youtube key he posted in youtube.com and watch it there ...

It was that towing in Okinawa video

I just don't understand why they would trust the planks. My car cost $5k and I wouldn't dare put it on that setup.

I still laugh at the end because everyone goes silent. No one wants to be the one to tell him. It sure sucks though, I hate seeing nice cars like that damaged.

The car is supposed to have basicially an on/off switch for a clutch. no suprise this happened at all.

The ramps on the trailer I've used to tow my Miata are too steep. I used 4' 2X8 planks to ease the transition onto the trailer. BUT if the planks broke the car would only drop a couple of inches. Oh ya, and it isn't a $500K car :)

lol

In soviet russia, the veyron tickets you.

Allegedly, that picture shows the delivery of the Veyron from the port of entry to its new owner.

And it's really not such a bad-looking way to transport the vehicle. There appears to be a crane arm at the front of the bed which was coupled to that gantry with four straps coming down from it. My guess is they either affixed those to hardpoints on the chassis or simply slung them under the vehicle, and then used the crane arm to lift the car straight up and swing it into the bed.

i love the lack of knowledge in this thread. LOL. that IS how you load a low car onto a flatbed wrecker, but, you dont drive it up, you pull it up with the winch. and i have been around towing my whole life. but this just came out last year, which helps a lot.

That's pretty sweet.

The people loading the car are the only ones with a lack of knowledge. That ghetto setup had bad news written all over it.

The only way I would transport a $500k car. The exotic dealer down the street from my shop has a single bed version they use to tow broken down cars.
Attachment 214783

and how much towing experence do you have? using a purpose built truck like that is nice, but there are just not many of those around. planks at the end of the bed work fine if you know what you are doing.

I wouldn't say a lot, but they drop cars off and pick them up at my shop all the time. I have watched them use planks before, but as you said, they tow them up not drive them.

Still, its $500,000. Thats 3 times the cost of my house, why in the hell would you even try it?

sick way to steal a car

And looks like this is how they tow cars in Texas ... :rofl:

i like this one

Thats awsome. Repo seems like a very dangerous line of work.

we had a trucker DROP an S10 off the back of his transport once.... bed was in the chevy's back window after that one...

its really only as bad as you make it. i have been helping repo for like 6 years with my dad and havent had a bad run-in with anyone yet. but the other guys that work with us have got into trouble a few times. just have to trust your instinct, and a mag full of hollow points helps just in case :D
