It would be bad enough towing all those vehicles... but with a fifteen-foot TOW STRAP??? What happens when the lead car stops? I hope somebody called the police and had that disaster on wheels taken off the road before it killed someone.

OK, I will admit it I looked at this a few times and stopped it a few times.  There is a driver in the SUV type car that is being towed by the Buick.  I do not know if the engine is running in that SUV to assist that driver if they need to stop!  I wonder if this qualifies as a Rube Goldberg kind of deal?

"OK, I will admit it I looked at this a few times and stopped it a few times..."

A few years back, near the Mexican border in south Texas, it was common to see convoys of vehicles, connected or not, heading south. Car salvagers come north, buy up anything they think they can fix, and convoy them back across the border. There, I'm supposing, to be resold at an affordable price to the local citizenry.   :o
