    Was pulling out of the Pilot and saw this. :biggrin_25525: I think he forgot to set the brake or something. If this is the wrong spot for this, please feel free to move it...

    Naw, can't you see he's at the cat scale? He was obviously over on his trailer so he was trying to move some of the weight forward!

    Looks to me like good ole Pilot didn't scoop the snow away from the scale so the driver thought he would help them out.

    I'll bet he gained a new-found appreciation for snow after that!

    Was he able to drive off or did a wrecker have to come out?

    I don't know, I didn't stick around. You can't tell it from the picture, but his drive tires are off the ground.

    BTW, just noticed there is a section for accidents. Sorry about that...

    That's one of my worst fears. The reason I double check and sometimes leave it in 2nd gear, over kill but you know.

    Yea I was wondering if you can just pull forward and be done with it.
