    That's a PRIME example what not to do!

    I find it ironic his mud flap says "Wide Turns". Liar Liar! :)

    Them two are standing there... "boy this is a dumb one"!

    The light pole put up a good fight, just look at that 4th axle.

    Although I have to wonder if the picture is doctored because how did he get on top of a vertical pole without damaging the skirts or trailer.

    Skirts will flex quite a bit. For when you have a dock with a sharp incline.

    Another knucklehead. At least he took it out on a light pole, and not your sister's VW! :biggrin_2556:
