Looking at this, I'm torn...
Ok, on the one hand it seems a tad ridiculous.
On the other hand, it's making me tally up all of the "unusual" things I have carried in my car.
8 foot long section of finished countertop
Sofa
50 gal water heater
Several 4x8 sheets of plywood
Lawnmower
Mattress
I mean, the only thing I would have done differently would have been to use some of the ratchet-straps which I carry in the trunk to secure it.

What memorizes me isn't that they were carrying it in a SC430, but what amazes the most is why the hell they didn't lie it down on it's side and strap it to the trunk. I mean, I've carried my fair share of odd bits in the Miata (8' PVC, 2x4s, bumpers) but never did I once decide it would be a good idea to stand them strait up and hold on to them.

Things I have "hauled" in my Miata:
Incidentally, my wife was with me on all above "projects".
Laughter and mayhem ensued.
There were no problems, either.
A cop pointed and laughed, even.
- A 8.5 foot tall red plum tree, potted, complete with plums and all, over 15 or so miles, on the freeway
- 32 pieces of cut boards, to build a 6.5 foot tall cabinet.
- An outdoor table for 8, again, on the freeway.
- A solid wood dining table
- Water and wine glasses and silverware for a wedding for 200 guests.

Guy at work got a call from the hospital about 6-8 months ago. Seems the wife bought a matress, and was hauling it home on the back of a pickup. It was tied off with rope through the cab, and when the wind caught it, she grabbed the rope. Degloved her hand, and nearly severed the index finger. Several operations later, she still isn't quite right.

I started to pull this yesterday with my 55'' Toshiba. I went originally just looking, but ended up deciding to buy. I played it smart and called my pops to bring his Bronco. Was just going to let the top down and wedge it between the a-pillar and roll bars on the passenger side and ride in the 30 degree cold for 15 miles on the interstate.
