Being able to afford an ATV but nothing else—like a truck or a trailer (or rent)—is a common problem for those of us who live in rural America. Does that stop us from buying ATVs? No. You just need some redneck ingenuity, and maybe a death wish.
The perfect example of this popped up on social media a few days ago. It all started when Minnesota Reddit user ThiccBananaMeat (don’t give that too much thought) was driving down the highway and spotted a dude hauling an ATV on top of a Toyota Corolla. Naturally, he took a picture and posted it, with the message: “Seen near Elk River. I am both impressed and confused.”
The post got plenty of attention and a pile of funny comments, including:
But what really took things to the next level were the comments linking to straight to the source, like the one from mowing-my-lawn, which said: “This is my buddy. Here’s how he did it.” And here is how he did it.
When I clicked play on this video, I thought for sure I would hear the words, “Just back her up to da snow bank, eh.” But apparently the tax return was big enough to get a ramp, too. And as KhellianTrelnora said, “…at least the tires are blocked?”
As you’d expect, there were a number of references to Red Green, and plenty of folks did point out what a terrible, bad idea this is, one even going to so far as to calculate what could happen if the driver had to stop quickly: “Unless their straps can hold more than 450 daN that thing might go for a ride.”
But most commenters were more impressed than confused, and some were totally in awe, like Lopsided-Control_577, who summed it all up in three word: “’Merica! F**k, yeah!!”
