Crazy towing in Upstate New York

So, we're driving up 87 North this past weekend and start seeing little strips of green fabric flying around the highway. We keep driving and don't think much of it. After a minute or so, we find this!

I mean, the canvas is one thing but the FENDERS?!?!?! How long does it take to toss the fenders into the boat? Oh and he was going 70 MPH. Makes me want to stay home in my basement away from crazy people.

Have you guys seen anything like this before?

Does he have that tied to the trailer with a line!
I commonly see large expensive boats with absolutely no transom straps... Drives me nuts!

I got one for you, some rocket scientist driving a Honda Pilot in the right lane of the Northern State Parkway here in LI blocking the right lane at 40 mph with a bed on top of his damn vehicle! Could not get around this guy due to the traffic and the best part is a Nassau County cop car passes and doesn't even give it a second look!

Looks like a pretty normal Mercruiser driver to me?

Harsh! Don't give in to the stereotype. We're not all the same!

Look at those transom steps... I'd never get the admiral up those!

That's crazy! Some people don't care about their boats or other people's safety. A few weeks ago we were driving back from Cape Cod and just outside of Boston some guy trailering a Sunfish hit a bump and the trailer started to disintegrate right in front of us. Metal pieces were flying around and then it disconnected from the hitch. The Sunfish smashed into the barrier and rested by the side. Crazy!

I was in the middle lane by Ballston Spa at night going about 70 when a raccoon or possum ran out across the road. It literally flashed in front of my car and I had no time to react. It took out my lower grille, a foglight, and the lower bumper trim.

Saw this guy traveling north thru Austin, TX years back. Never seen anything like it since!

Only thing missing is the motorcycle, jet ski, bicycles and kayaks! Although that is a jet drive outboard, so maybe that counts as the jet ski.
