Some guy in my neighborhood just bought one of these:
...and a 4dr full size Chevy pickup to pull it with. My wife looked at it and said "That's a cute camper. You could pull that with your commuter bike."
I told her she was right. And the commuter bike isn't even the motorized kind.

Yeah, well, maybe if Europeans didn't think it was perfectly acceptable to tow a family-size caravan with an asthmatic 4 cylinder Peugeot that can barely start and stop itself, they wouldn't have mile-long tailbacks full of steaming road-rage cases who hate caravanners.

Plus the European solution to trailer hitch/ball just looks so odd to me: Just wrong

Going to keep doing this until we find some dirt, then I'll start an adventure thread.

The local bolt supply place 20 years ago had that up in their "lobby". 18 year old Knurled thought it was real. Didn't realize it was a joke until, oh, five minutes ago when I thought about it again.
I have made the second bolt on the chart for that purpose.
Obligatory hotlink:
Photographic evidence that someone actually stretched an Audi "large" axle bolt. Torque spec is something ridiculous like 150ft-lb plus 180 degrees. This is way beyond stalling a IR2131. This is someone in the car with the engine running so it has power brakes, and you with a 6' cheater on a 3/4" breaker bar and hope you don't break the breaker bar. And I've STILL never seen one stretch...
Turns out Dodge has dome some weird stuff.
Convertible pickup.

So much cool in this picture.
And it can be yours.

How about a Dodge truck with Desoto wagon fenders?
I like it!

If that thing proves to be real and works and not just vapor ware, and if it's really $800 or less I'm getting one, no question.
Apparently unrelated mandatory below, but there is a tenuous link in my mind.

My dad has been doing this for as long as I can remember. He also has 3 kids so that means he doesn't have to buy ice cream for himself and he still gets more than we do.
In reply to IndyJoe:
I much prefer clean, simple livery that works with the lines of the car and presents a clear, graphic image. Not like some of these:
Seriously, if I was a sponsor - or even Aston Martin - I would be mad about how hard to read that car is.
Bleah.
