I'd try it with or without the weight....if at first you don't succeed, try, try again Jimmy.

Really hate to hear that happened.

Thanks reed. I pulled it into the garage after it was washed and got all the egg off. however upon a good inspection today if I see any more egg I will use your method. Thanks.

That would defeat the purpose of damaging the ferd.

O.... K.....

Actually, it's surprisingly easy to tow a parked vehicle, once you get it moving. The trick is to get it moving quickly, down try to slowly pull away, kind of give it a firm tug to break free. Once the tires get a flat spoton them, it starts getting easier to tow.

If you try to go too fast, the differential starts making the wheels jump in opposite directions for some reason.

You should be able to tow it at 20-30 mph without too much problems.

Also, with the wheels locked up, you won't have to worry about getting rear ended when you stop or slow down.

Just make sure that they don't curb their wheels, otherwise you will be in one lane and the Ferd will be in the other lane.

This is all in good fun, right? Or do we need to pass the hat for a "get Jimmy out of Jail" fund?

I would never break the law. This is all for scientific testing. Laws of pulling.

Thanks, I am very much relieved that you aren't doing anything wrong.

Kind of a "Myth Busters" thing, huh? A Ford Explorer, though?A '89 Civic DX with whale tail and coffee can muffler would be a much easier test of rolling resistance and pulling?

Jimmy, update me with the status of the "Expedition expedition" lol...

You got my number, send me a message bro....

I'd personally drag it a few miles, and smash the windows...

But, that's just me, and I'm not a mean guy...

I was sort of thinking a rolling bar-b-que. I do live in the desert.
