A couple weekends ago when we went to Oklahoma to help my twin brother remove some trees from around his trailer house so he can move it off his property, my brother also had to move something else. A really ugly car. For some reason my brother thought it would make a great car to restore, what his reasoning was I have no idea. So let’s put it this way–I was uber excited when his friend called saying he was ready to haul it away.
I may have jumped for joy!
Personally, I have no idea why someone would love a 1988 Chrysler Conquest over a 1969 Oldsmobile Cutlass.
But the bigger question at the time was how in the world we were going to move the Conquest which had flat tires. Well, when you’re a redneck why you only need one major piece of equipment:
A riding lawnmower.
That’s right folks–I mean if the riding lawnmower is already out because you’re using it to haul away large logs from the tree you just cut down, then why not use it to haul away an almost 3000 pound car? Right?
Riiiiight.
First, lets see if the riding lawnmower has enough power to do the job.
(Steering it so the wheels would go on the ramp.)
That was fun.
Now to actually pull the 1980s nightmare of a sports car.
Almost there…
Craaaaap!!!
Well at least we were having some fun! (Especially me after I took these pictures!)
And then you try again, because if at first you don’t succeed…
Try,
Try,
Try,
Try again.
And git her done!
Redneck.
PS: Thank goodness we’re not identical twins.
