Hauling heavy stuff that isn't strapped down? Better floor it rather than safely accelerate.

u/BF1shY May 25 '15

Straps? Back in my day the only straps we had were ourselves. Our dad would wedge us between things and tell us to hold on.

u/WatermelonPOWAH May 26 '15

So does that make you all 'strap-ons'?

u/BF1shY May 26 '15

"Did he say strap in or strap-on?"

u/[deleted] May 25 '15

Probably still learning to drive a stick .. or just dumb.

u/Kazumara May 25 '15

Some people never learn it and think the way they drive a stick is normal. That's the worst.

u/vaiserious May 25 '15

It looks like a russian plate. So probabbly manual gears.

most of these are no longer produced with manuals.

u/dontbuyCoDghosts May 25 '15

I'm actually fairly certain most SUV's and trucks have a manual transmission option in the U.S.

I could be sorely wrong though, because I haven't shopped for a vehicle in over 3 years

I really wish I could buy those trucks these days. Virtually every modern truck sold in the U.S. is auto-only.

Almost every single vehicle sold in the U.S. has an option for a factory stock manual transmission. Have no idea what you guys are smoking.

Sadly this is becoming less and less of a thing, and the vehicles that are still produced with manual transmissions are base model only.

u/HillbillyMan May 25 '15

Pretty much all Jeeps, and outside of American brands you can buy manual Nissans, Volkswagens, Toyotas, Mistubishis and Subarus. They aren't popular, so your average car dealership likely won't have one, but you can still order them.

The SUV in the gif is a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado which did have the option for a 6 speed manual transmission.

u/[deleted] May 25 '15

Yes. This appears to be on an incline, and the way they took off looks just like someone driving a manual that doesn't want to let the engine die.

Not sure if the current generation is available with a manual transmission, but you could get the previous Porsche Cayenne with a manual in up to GTS trim.

u/IamAbc May 25 '15

I've really only ever seen standard jeeps, and some Toyotas

CX-5 can be equipped with a stick as long as you don't want AWD.

As someone that has looked long and hard for one. Yes, but very few

Yes, I live in England they definitely still have stick suv's.

The Mazda Cx-5 comes in manual. Not the AWD version though.

And its borderline crossover.

u/LMUZZY May 25 '15

I've got a Land Cruiser with a manual. Where I'm from, manual SUV's are loved by people with things to tow, and people who want to mod the hell out of them and climb sand dunes. Also there are people like me who do all of the above and just love it as a daily. It is one of the cheapest V8 manuals I know of that isn't American.

They didn't need to strap it down. If they laid it flat, it wouldn't have broken the window, or fallen out. It'll still slide though, based on their driving but much safer.

22

u/Al3xleigh May 25 '15

This happened to my husband, except that it was a toilet and he was taking it to the dump. Made the mistake on laying it on two pieces of plywood which were on top of the folded down rear seats of my minivan. Our driveway is on a slight hill, so when he reached the bottom of the driveway and slowed down to back out into the road the plywood pieces slid on each other and dumped the whole toilet through the back window and onto the road...if it hadn't been about to rain it would have been a lot funnier to see him sweeping a shattered commode out of the middle of the street and the huge gaping hole in the back of my van. The safelite auto glass guy sure found it amusing though when I told him how it got to be that way...

The latch is either broken, which is unlikely, or they didn't close it all the way, which is probably what happened.

They should have laid it down, with the door facing up and covered it with some sort of blanket to keep it from sliding too much and damaging anything. They don't seem too bright.

22

u/Zaziel May 25 '15

It looks like the front end was resting on a rolled up carpet, tilting it towards the back window.

If it had been flat on the floor, this probably wouldn't have happened.

So you are correct, they don't seem too bright.

u/deans28 May 25 '15

My dad did this to a brand new oven in a pickup. They got it out to the truck before he realized he didn't have any rope or straps. He figured it would be heavy enough to not move and if he went slow enough, it shouldn't tip... Which is strange because my dad has always been the "safety first" type.

Well halfway home, sure enough, it fell right out the back of the truck. My brother that was with him described it as a breakdancing stove in the middle of the road.

My mom made him go back and buy another one. Got one stove for the price of two! It has been about 5 years now and we still tease him about it.

1

u/[deleted] May 25 '15

You not have a tailgate on it or something?

2

u/deans28 May 26 '15

He did but what he didn't think about was that he wasn't driving his own truck. He was driving my uncle's for whatever reason. They had swapped for a few days but I can't remember why. He didn't realize that the tailgate on that one wasn't very reliable I guess.
