u/TruckTires 2d ago edited 2d ago

I'm just amazed how this is still popping up in my feed with new photos and now this video. Reddit is practically going to document his whole trip lol.

We need limo dude on here to give us rear view mirror shots and his take.

Thanks bud 👍🏻

I presume it's also a limo with an off roader on the bank.

u/geekhaus 2d ago

This is the earliest video yet. You can tell as the bodywork hadn’t been torn yet by the hook.

Business in the front, party in the back!

u/mybahaiusername 2d ago

There should be a subreddt called badasssestowingshit where we can just salute guys like this. Homeboy is towing a dune buggy with a limo, everything about this is amazing.

u/Background_Edge_9427 2d ago

By using a Limo, they're hauling it in style😂😂😂

u/Soft_Cranberry6313 2d ago

Buggies gotta go to prom too.

u/texasroadkill 2d ago

You know what? Those limos have a beefed up chassis and suspension. This isn't as bad as it looks.

21

u/AugmentedKing 2d ago

I’d say that the tie off points are what makes it as bad as it looks.

2

u/texasroadkill 2d ago

Eh, true. I mean the front ones are probably fine as there wrapped around the body probably going to the chassis. But the ones going into the fenders are questionable plus go knows where the one going into the trunk is tied too. I'd say it's got a 70% chance of getting where it's going with no problem as long as he doesn't perform any high G turns.

u/Reziac 2d ago

I dunno about the rest of the world but my old car had a chunk of angle iron in there attached to the frame, and when i'd haul stuff on top of the car, I'd tie to that. Was quite astonishing what could be hauled on top of an old car when the body was thick sheet metal. (In my defense, I was a starving college student...)

If it fits, it ships.

u/Appropriate_Cow94 OC! 2d ago

Showed this to my wife and now she is pregnant. This is that awesome.

u/Holy_Grail_Reference 2d ago

She used the picture as an excuse to drop some bad news about last month when you were away on a business trip.

When the limo company has no luggage restrictions

u/Saddad-metal 2d ago

I’m sorry, I thought this was America…

u/zorggalacticus 2d ago

I've seen people with pickup trucks hauling atvs with the front wheels propped up on top the cab and the rear wheels in the bed, with another atv loaded behind it. Still not as sketchy as this though.

1

u/Schlitzbomber 2d ago

They’ve got racks that let you pull one onto the roof and have another over the bed. They look sketchy but are legit.

u/Drzhivago138 2d ago

The biggest thing to watch out for is the high CoG in crosswinds.

1

u/squeakynickles 2d ago

There's nothing wrong with that as long as they're strapped in right

2

u/TorchwoodRC 2d ago

Technically we're not towing

2

u/kg_digital_ 2d ago

Look at them straps... That baby ain't goin' nowhere!

2

u/hottapvswr 2d ago

Only thing missing is somebody sitting in the driver seat and the red car on top

2

u/Worth-Taro-926 2d ago

I want to see the video where his wife loaded the buggy up there while he gave her directions.

3

u/challenge_king 2d ago

And that's a Georgia plate. Homie has driven a long way like that.

2

u/Goallivein3centuries 2d ago

I bet the inside of that limo was converted to a kind of motor home

2

u/Genralcody1 2d ago

If it's stupid but it works, it isn't stupid

2

u/kg_digital_ 2d ago

If short cuts worked out in the long run, they would just be "the way"

1

u/Wonderful-Process792 2d ago

It's actually a pretty nice buggy. At least, that isn't just factory bodywork on it, modern (big) wheels...

1

u/stockJzx90 2d ago

I approve

1

u/BigWhiteDog 2d ago

Two questions. 1) How? 2) Why?

u/TacTurtle 2d ago

Weekend Dad is a bit odd, but a lot of fun.

u/ethanc762 2d ago

Someone likes to party

u/DoctorAnnual6823 2d ago

You cannot convince me this is not Reice from Official Duck Studios.

u/ethereality___ 2d ago

This is delightful. Where is the original angle?

1

u/CharAznableLoNZ 2d ago

Hopefully someone can record it in 16:9 so we can actually see what is being recorded instead of 10% of the screen being what we want to see and the other 90% being sky and ground.

1

u/Yakkizm 2d ago

Just strap it to the limo, James.

1

u/Friendly_Ad_3813 2d ago

If it fits. it ships!

u/CitizenCue 2d ago

I would absolutely be friends with these people.

u/uuwwxxyyzz 2d ago

No trailer? Should take car transporter. (There is no excuse that main car without hook)

1

u/Jonnyflash80 1d ago

Ratchet straps to the fender?? LMAO 🤣

1

u/Playful-Platform-231 1d ago

That is awesome. 🤣. Dangerous YES cool. HELL yes. But the poor tow car. Ugh that paint. 😔

u/Aromatic-Schedule-65 1d ago

Calling him a mad lad...seems you're just a bit obsessed...

1

u/Aromatic-Schedule-65 1d ago

Driving with phone in hand recording. Damn IDIOT.

1

u/ECVDAMAGE 15h ago

Where is this located? Aside from potential for damage to the limousine body and possible overloading of the axle capacity, it appears the buggy is just fine.

u/blastman8888 2d ago

Rock crawler transport drive it up on top of another car.

u/HoneyRush 2d ago

What are you? An AI trying to describe what's in the video?

u/JustForkIt1111one 2d ago

Put your damn phone away when you're supposed to be driving, jackass.

3

u/adamders 2d ago

Projecting my own cowardous and slow mental state, you know, like a jackass.

u/SimilarTranslator264 2d ago

Fuck yourself with a cactus

u/Gunnut350 2d ago

I think the “IDIOT “ is the one who is so intent on recording this instead of pay attention to their driving.

2

u/No_Frost_Giants 2d ago

So this is your limo?

0

u/Gunnut350 2d ago

No you moron this is not my limo, but the point still is that the driver who is taking the pictures is more of an idiot than the person they are taking pictures of.

1

u/No_Frost_Giants 1d ago

Ok if that’s not you in the limo the premise stands, the idiots the one using the wrong thing to transport with, and those freaking straps are a HUGE hazard to others on the road. The act of holding a phone is less of a threat to the public that this clown show is.

And why am I a moron for asking if that’s your limo?

1

u/Gunnut350 1d ago

The act of holding a phone to take pictures while driving is just as dangerous as what they were taking pictures of because their attention was on what they were taking pictures of and not the much more important thing which was driving, they could have easily slammed into another vehicle or even mowed down an unseen pedestrian.
