That's an interesting place to tie down a car...

Saw this tow truck moving some CarMax cars this morning. Ummm...what’s going on here?

I mean firstly, the nearest CarMax is like 20+ miles away and these two cars have no business being out here. I can’t figure out why they were even in my town.

Second, this guy secured the poor Malibu to the truck using...the mirrors? I mean, if the car falls off the truck those mirrors aren’t stopping anything. xD

they clamp down the car through the wheels i believe. thats just the extra strap length and they wrapped it around the mirrors to keep it from flapping around while driving down the road

It looks like it’s got chains around the front wheels.

Don’t worry, the BUMPER TO BUMPER MAX CARE SERVICE PLAN will take care of anything that goes wrong.

Probably transfers from one location to another. They do a lot of that. I was always kinda sketched out by the magnetic brake lights on the toad. Seems a little haphazard.

Still better than a trailer that doesn’t have working brake lights at all

I sure hope so, I don’t recall seeing the wheels tied down but I could be wrong!

Not as bad as the 86 mile tow home I got when I wrecked the Roadmaster rallycrossing it. That guy just put turned the Roadie’s hazard lights on. I was too depressed to argue with the guy.
