Early candidate for H-Tine traffic photo of the year here!
Probably more than the stopping capacity.
Also just a hunch the driver doesn't have a tandem endorsement

Vaya con dios
That's the best "in tow" shoe polish job I've seen though

Holy crap. That is incredible.
Big shocker the Camaro has paper plates.
Headed straight to Mexico. Guaranteed.
Are the Dodge and the Honda approved for flat towing or will they have ruined parts of some sort after this?

Tint looks good on the tow vehicle, otherwise HPD would pull you over for that.
Been going on in Texas as long as I can remember. Many head to Central or even South America.

Well yeah...but you don't typically see a freaking Camaro as the towing vehicle!
And we were .... southbound ... 59 ... headed down the roooooad. Hit the border ... by morning ...
True. It's normally a Ranger or S10 from the 90s.
I see these road trains all the time. They buy a handful of questionable titled vehicles in the states and road trip them down to Old Mexico where they get the spit shine and sold off.Irish 2.0 said:

Axles and drive shafts etc are most likely removed and in the back seat along with the bumper covers
So why does law enforcement give these guys a free pass? I have never seen one of these 3 car chains pulled over, ever? I got pulled over by DPS near Mexia for a burned out license plate bulb when I was in college. I guess they know there's no money in it
Because you look like you have money to contribute towards the local coffers. These guys have whats in their pockets and if they get a ticket, they'll just drive to Mexico anyway where you can't do anything about it.Ag for Life said:

If a Tundra can "tow" a Space Shuttle, then this is a cakewalk for a Camaro. Just comes down to the thermal capacity of the brakes.

Yep
That's why Jose drives the lead car and Jos-B and Jos-C are in the towed vehicles to hit the brakes.tk for tu juan said:

They are also performing a public service by taking our crap down south of the border.big ben said:Tim Weaver said:Because you look like you have money to contribute towards the local coffers.

The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But, it's still on the list.

Until **** breaks loose and kills your son or daughter on the interstate.
Should just impound the 3rd vehicle. That'll solve this **** real fast when they lose the ability to haul off 3 car chains
Just be sure you keep the wheels down, they don't do so well the other way:

Spotted another one today. Towing vehicle appears to be a Honda CR-V, but I can't tell.
The Juarez trains. They come through every week.
It's been going on for decades. But what I wonder is, if it's so lucrative, why isn't the need met by a commercial operation?
