I once drove a cockshutt 30 120 miles home. Left home at 5 in the morning, drove a chevette down to the tractor, tied an old trailer hitch to the bumper of the car, hooked the car to the tractor, left the car idling with the flashers on for lights, and drove the tractor home. it went 10 miles an hour, got home at 9 that night. It was a blast, and very scary all at the same time. Fist big hill I thought I would make some time and pushed in the clutch.

I was nearly doing 50 miles an hour by the bottom of the hill, steering like crazy trying not to let the slop in the steering throw me into a ditch. I did make up quite a bit of time, but the damage to my underwear wasn't worth it. Good thing I was only 27 at the time, now I would likely have had a heart attack. It makes a great story though, wish I had pictures.
