The guy that won my charger on ebay's shipper came today. Last night he called and said he would be here today morning. I pull the car out, put all the crap in it and bring it into the street. So 12 o'clock comes and he still isn't here, 1 comes and still not here. At 4:30 we get a phone call that he will be here by 6, at 5:30 we get a phone call he will be here by 7. He finally arrives at about 6:45 with an E-150 van pulling an old rickety trailer. He gets the trailer set up so the car can be pulled on. So, he gets in the car and tries to pull it on, only one problem 3rd gen chargers are ungodly wide. The wheels hung over the edge about 1 1/2 inches on each side it was all good until he got to the fenders for the trailer wheels, by the time it got that far he knew it wasn't gonna fit. So he pulls it off the trailer. The guy is gonna come back next week with a bigger trailer. The good part is that I get to keep my blue charger another week and got the money for it. Pics to come, maybe.

I know it had to fit so let me guess...  ummm, it wouldn't start?

Had the same thing happen with my satellite today. My car wouldn't fit because they also had a 66 buick shell that they loaded with a forklift. They are coming back in a few days.

 :lol: That's funny, good thing the guy with the trailer didn't try to force it on.

Reminds me of this guy who bought this huge painting from an art gallery. I worked for a packing & shipping company for artwork & antiques in NYC years ago, & this guy with a 2 story penthouse apartment on Park Ave. bought a painting that measured over 10 feet wide. Too bad the elevator was only 5 feet by 6 feet.  :smilielol:

would it have fit if it didnt have wheels with such offset ? or was the body too wide and going to hit the fenders? :shruggy:

I like the scare stickers on the trailer.
Don't you know that each one adds at least 500lb of capacity to it.
