I have a Massey Harris Pony and a Coleman canoe, close enough? The Coleman has a split in the bottom from towing the grandsons across the fields behind a Jeep in the snow!

My 8 passenger 22' canoe is much closer to barge size though...

The more I look at that picture, O'porn, the crazier it looks.
So, by the power vested in me, I hereby declare you the winner of this here challenge.
You pick the next one.

That picture was from last summer so really it doesn't count. This challenge has only been going 3 days and I like seeing things nautical so I suggest we wait the week and if there are no takers I will rig the Barge (canoe) to something sillier.

Deal?

Just for your amusement and to prove this was a real thing that happened last summer, here is a couple more...

Imagine the amusement of other motorists on the way to the pond!

Are my eyes deceiving me, or is that a really long canoe?

Unfortunately, I don't think a picture survives. But years ago I had an '86 Cabriolet that I would strap a canoe to the roll bar and windshield frame. One time, with the canoe up there, I also towed my small ski boat to the lake. It looked absolutely ridiculous as you couldn't see the car at all from behind, and both the canoe and boat were larger than the car.

Thanks everyone! The Corvair's are for sale (or on display) at the local Chevrolet dealer. There are plenty of boats around here, but difficult it's to get a car on the waterfront.

Next Challenge: Your VW next to carnivorous plants—bonus if they're native.

Cheers!
Mike
