So after I got out of work my client and I went up to where his son's totaled car is, we did some pushing and moving of other cars in the yard-- in 7 inches of snow- but got that car out- so trailer was cleared for about 3 hours and now has an Escort ZX2 on it.



Love these days!

Had a day kinda like that. Went out to pick up a caravan. Alum rims. $280 cool, score. Get it to the shop. Drop off the truck, get in the car and drove home. walking up onto the deck I get a call. Guy has an f150. Cop pulled him over and yanked the plates. I said $300 bucks. Kinda low balled cause I was exhausted. And wasnt totally I the mood. "Sure man I just need it off the road" OK ill go...

Sooo back in the car I get, up to the shop, fire up the rig and off I go. What a piece... was so bad when we finally took it in for scrap, the truck folded in on itself. Made a nice profit on the pair and we used the f150 as a lot truck/tire getter for almost a year. Was actually one of the more reliable vehicles on the lot LOL
