Default How many rednecks does it take to load an English Wheel?

Only in Redneck territory could you find this example of desire dedication and application of an idea. Others willing to help others, regardless of the appearance of said effort. This is the effort required to get Todd Landon's Tommasini wheeling machine into a rental car for delivery to Minnesota.

Agree with the great job, but I wonder, that weight/shape and that distance, what will be the condition of that Rental Car Trunk on arrival in Minne-so-cold ! :^)

Nah, they're not real rednecks! Real rednecks would've just dropped it straight in through the rear window

It's a rental car so why would you be bothered?

Yup-they're real rednecks for sure.

Got the fancy new rental car, looked in the trunk and saw no spare tire laying there.

The smart one figured as long as you get a good one, a wheel is a a wheel. He says "I know these guys where we can git one" and headed over to see Will (race car expert) and Jimmy (big trucks and forklifts) When they got there, he grabbed the first one they saw.

The others started shaking their heads, he said "Yeah, yeah, I know, they sure have funny looking kinda wheels around here. But don't worry, y'all- if we get a flat I'll make it fit...."

After the batch of donuts they grew for yesterday morning, I wouldn't bet against them..
