    Please remember if you are going to tow a vehicle, put it neutral. Thanks.

    The least the owner could do would be to put some metal brackets on the back so he could claim that he did get it stopped after firing the JATOs...

    I've known more than one who forgot to release the parking brake. No D-shaped wheels, but major brake system damage.

    Evidently you guys aren't aware of the urban legend or Darwin Award for the guy that supposedly strapped a JATO to his car and proceded to kill himself by smashing into a cliff at 250 to 300mph.

    I love it when thread drift turns to debate over sub-par Kentucky Bourbon's... If it's not white label Jim, there's no point taking off the lid. Sheesh.

    I'm at a loss for words for both the tasteless bourbon drinkers (Jack is not bourbon however, and Jim Beam might make a fine aged bourbon periodically - while the regular is pure rockgut - but calling Makers Mark subpar is pure and total blasphemy) and as stated in the linked forum the inability for the driver not to have looked in his mirror to see the smoke from tire and rim, much less no other drivers trying to wave him down before the SportTrack was in that state. Most RV's even have rear cameras now so the driver doesnt even have to use side mirrors
