Have you ever seen the magnificent sight of a tow truck towing a tow truck? There is something mildly mesmerizing about a purpose vehicle [in this instance, towing] receiving the service it was designed to perform. Another favorite: Semis trucking other semis, piggyback-style, on the highway.
For some reason, this vehicle [which ran when parked, by the way] evokes a similar sentiment:
The Helper Needs Help
The 1972 Holmes probably could no longer compete with the shiny, ultra handy tows of today– with their built in battery charges tucked under clever doors in the bumpers. Homecoming float maybe? Kids swinging off the crane arm. Pranks might be too tempting. Hmm. Just as long as we get the bungee cord that currently holds the hood down, avoiding a staple of the vehicle slapstick genre.
Seller discloses:
THE TRANNY IS A GRANNY
Venture a guess to the asking price. Correct: $500.
Despite this auto spraying oil into the engine fan, the seller assures, “WAS
RUNNING WHEN PARKED 8 YEARS AGO”.
Eight years ago was only 2001
