I suddenly have the urge for triple-stuff Oreos...and group-sex

Stackin' 'em deep, Ballin' them cheap.

That's the Ying-Yang way!

" stacking three increasingly smaller trucks on top of each other"

No. Two.

Two trucks. The first one doesn't count.

Unless the "reporter" belongs to some subset of the lunatic fringe that believes the world is truck-shaped...

So, it's a truck resting on a truck resting on a truck resting on the Earth that's on the back of a tiger standing on an elephant on the back of a turtle??

Well, what's the turtle standing on??

Amateurs.

GWSuperfan: nulluspixiusdemonica: Unless the "reporter" belongs to some subset of the lunatic fringe that believes the world is truck-shaped...

It's trucks all the way down.

//shakes tiny fist

Flint Ironstag: The utter lack of any straps or chains is worrying....

And don't they make a Smart Car copy? You could easily have got one of those in the top truck! And one of those folding scooters in the trunk....

That's what I thought, then I thought there could be tiedowns anchored to the bed of the first two trucks.

evilsofa: Amateurs.

This is dangerously close to truck-stacking recursion!

Once that is achieved, gravitational collapse is inevitable.

You're so dismissive of ideas that don't jibe with your worldview. This is why we need to teach the controversy. Children need to be exposed to the Truckiverse just like any other scientific theory.

Nothing. *gives GBB a pitying look that he clearly doesn't get it* It's turtles all the way down.

Was it the Ferd F-teen-thousand?

Don't be silly. Everybody knows the universe is tabernacle shaped!

That's really the only problem I see here, the actual driven truck doesn't look like it's having problems with the load, and the majority of each truck's weight is over the front axle, so the weight distribution seems fine. If they were properly rigged I'd feel a lot safer behind a truck loaded that way than the double-trailer UPS trucks that go tearing ass down the highway around here.

Nothing. It's a turtle. Turtles swim.

I live in China, and this is completely ordinary. I've seen families of four stacked onto a moped winding through traffic, and sacks stacked twelve high, twelve long, and three wide on a mototrike the size of an ATV just moseying down the road. Buses will weave in and out of the median honking if something's in their way- including oncoming traffic. Even on the highway, the horn is a substitute for a turn signal, and even then it's less of an indicator and more of a general "HEY I'M DOING SOMETHING NOW."

Completely amazing.

"One time while hitchhiking, I got picked up by one of those huge trailer trucks carrying 20 brand new cars. I climbed up the side of the cab and opened the door. The guy said, "I don't have much room up here, why don't you get into one of the cars out back." So I did. And he was really into picking people up because he picked up 19 more. We all had our own cars. Then he went 90 miles per hour and we all got speeding tickets."

Looks fine to me.

So, like California.

I'm spending a few days in Beijing at the beginning of April; how much absolutely ridiculous shiat of this nature can I expect to see and/or photograph? Bear in mind I live in Japan so my tolerance is already fairly high.

Beijing? Get ready for gridlock. There are so many cars the government only lets them drive on certain days depending on their license plate. I haven't actually been up there- I work in Shijiazhuang, Hebei and came in through Shanghai, but if those two cities (tens of millions of people each) are any example you're in for some hilarious antics, especially on the ring roads. The congestion isn't so bad in my city, which makes it all the more likely some old guy in his old PLA overcoat will be whizzing in and out of traffic on a motorized bicycle with a cigarette between his lips and about eighty parcels on the back. It's like FedEx Budget or something, these guys are pros.

Expect to see tons of Mercedes, BMWs, and Volkswagens, almost all brand-new, alongside trucks that look like they saw service in the Korean War.Baloo Uriza: Kuroutesshin: I live in China, and this is completely ordinary.

The Chinese laugh at punk american "cyclists" and light another cigarette while readjusting their kid in the handlebasket, wife on the back, and produce in the other hand.

Don't worry. Richard, James, and Jeremy have this one covered.

My middle child had this book as a toddler.
It reads in army cadence.

Refrain:
How many trucks can a tow truck tow?
One,Two,Three, Four, I don't know.

Looks normal from what I've seen. I guess it was just in the wrong place.

I like those little Asian made flatbeds that don't meet US transportation safety laws. I've seen some that are 4x4. That would be fun.

There's a guy around here with a Suzuki flatbed. I don't know how he got it here, but AZ seems to have had no problem registering it once he did.

If it's old enough, you can probably get a pass on the import/reg.

Behold, the Turtrucken.

Vertical stacking is elitist.
