Yesterday coming to work on my daily hwy commute.  I seen this Palamino maybe a 10' box being pulled by a TV that I couldn't see.  After driving up past the camper I discovered that the camper was being pulled by a 2k model Z28 Camaro.  I have never seen someone pulling a camper with a sports car, I just chuckled to myself.  Believe me the camper was getting the advantage on the rear of the Camaro plus the camper had twin propane tanks.

You mean it wasn't dragging the ground.  The Z's I've seen are barely off the ground.

Nancy,
I'm as shocked as you are, maybe he was using air shocks or air bags to keep the rear-end up of the ground.  The powertrain wouldn't have a problem pulling the camper but I would think that the rear suspension isn't made for that type of towing.

This is bananas !!!! Some people have no common sense  eh ! I mean if you can afford a Camaro and its gas bill, you can afford a decent TV ! Did you take a picture Cory ? That would be really funny eh :)

Nope didn't get a pic I was cruising down the hwy drinking my coffee & seen this TV, wish I would have had a digital camera with me.

Last fall, after our oldest DD got re-ended and the guy totaled her car, I had a disposable camera with me on the way home from work, and I seen a full size pick-up towing a trailer... towing a PU.  It was so strange, I grabbed the camera and tried to take a pic as I was passing.  

When we got the pics developed, apparently it didn't take (at least DD didn't give it to me - I'll try to remember to ask).

There are some really strange TVs out there.  Some of them scare me. :)

I too have seen a popup being pulled by a camaro.  It was in 2001. We were heading east on I-70, just east of Dallas Texas. A red camaro pulling a Coleman Taos popup trailer passed us.  There was a graying couple in the car, and looked to have no worries.  The car was not sagging, and looked to be handling the job well.
