An Illinois man decided to haul his snowmobile from Illinois to Michigan on the roof of his car (instead of a trailer) to save some cash. Photos of Tommy Mecher filling up his 2005 Chevy Malibu at gas stations along his journey have garnered some funny comments on social media. Mecher alleges that he only spent an extra $10 or so in gas to haul the machine. He made sure the snowmobile was secured with multiple straps, and Mecher even had his buddy hop on the snowmobile to try and rock it. When questioned about the legality of transporting the machine in this manner, Mecher said a lot of police officers have seen him but haven’t said anything. In fact, one police officer at a gas station told Mecher that he didn’t see anything illegal about it. Once Mecher arrived at his destination, it only took him nine minutes to unload.

On the Road Again

One woman took a road trip with her boyfriend that she will never forget. The couple was traveling from New Mexico to Mexico in a Honda Element, and the woman had crawled in the back to nap while her boyfriend drove. When he stopped at a gas station in New Mexico to fill up the small SUV, the woman decided to take a bio break. When she came out of the c-store, she realized her boyfriend had driven off. She didn’t have her phone to call him but wasn’t too worried, thinking he would notice and come back quickly. After two hours and multiple unanswered calls from the store’s phone, he finally showed up. He thought she had been sleeping in the back the entire time. He eventually passed by some “cool scenery” and went to wake her, realized she was gone and sped back to the gas station. Hopefully, he’ll check the back next time he stops to fuel up.
