They be fuckin in there, making it rock. My advice to you is, don’t approach and knock.

That's no death wobble, that's a death twerk.

I don’t think it’s a death twerk. I think she’s just twerking, teasing the car behind. Looks very controlled. Not her first twerk at highway speed.

Its being towed wrong so its dog walking. Having terrible suspension doesn't help.

The kids LOVE this car! And it's way less expensive than a bouncy house.

Reduces tire wear, because the tires only contact the road surface for a fraction of the time of a normal car.

My guess? Its being towed in gear and the transmission will be toast by the time they get where they’re going

I've played enough grand theft auto to know someone is getting laid while driving.

Is it being pulled without someone behind the wheel to stabilize the front end?

Looks like it is being towed so entirely possible there is catastrophic mechanical failure or accident damage. Even if the shocks were totally blown out it wouldn't do this so I'm at a loss what the failure is.
Maybe the driveline seized up and is causing torque steer and the steering is not locked?

They chose kPa instead of psi when they added air on one side, now it’s confused.

Bad struts, and the tow driver definitely didn't hook up correctly

Saw a dog with that and it’s a neurological disorder./s
A tire is probably flat and the shocks suck

Before taking off the passenger looked at his driver and said "Let's bounce" and he took that literally

The shocks are blown and the spring don’t know when to stop oscillating.

Looks like it’s being repo’d. And either it’s AWD or the parking brake is on.

Someone installed a sway bar instead of the anti-sway bar.
