How Not to Tow a Car

Dante Brown's Saab broke down on Interstate 610 in Houston. Instead of calling a tow truck, he called his girlfriend to come and tow the car. She brought her Ford Expedition, but had no towing equipment outside of a single chain. They attached the chain to the rear axle of the Saab, which is the last thing you should do, and set off down the highway. The axle soon broke, and as Brown overcompensated in his steering, the car fishtailed wildly across several lanes! Brown was obviously not in communication with his girlfriend in the SUV, and she appeared to be oblivious to the mayhem going on behind her. Or was she? Some witnesses even reported she was laughing. 

Police eventually caught up with the pair. No tickets were issued for the traffic incident, but Brown was arrested on an outstanding warrant. Next time, call a tow truck.  -via Born in Space

This is one of the reasons I avoid Houston traffic as much as possible. There's almost always something idiotic going on - like piling wooden pallets 10' high, unsecured, in the back of a pickup truck and then taking a very busy road.
