    This was on Reddit last week. Damages aside. If this were on a toll road, would you really have to pay for that extra tire hitting the pavement? :D;) Stay safe everyone.

    I’ll bet the spider gears in the rear differential were in fine shape when he arrived at the delivery location

    Don’t forget the transmission,unless they actually bothered to disconnect the driveshaft(which I doubt).

    Yea, I thought about that but the ####### probably didn’t take it out of park lol
    If he put the transfer case in neutral and left the trans in park he could probably get away with saving the trans but I don’t think he is anywhere near smart enough to do that judging by the picture.

    How thorough is an inspection for a car like this ? I would think an inspection like this would bankrupt a driver .

    You might pay a bit more attention to the body, but nothing drastic. The time suck is having to lay on the ground to check the underside. Front, rear, and both sides; because those kind of cars drag on everything!
     
    Tall Mike and mjd4277 Thank this.

    Well, there's that.

    My point was anyone who hauls new is gonna do a fairly normal inspection on the top because they're used to looking for anything and everything.
