I hauled a 900 lb ironworker in my Caddy. I figured with my weight + my dog's weight and a change of clothes, I was right at the GVW of the car. A full tank of fuel put me over the line... Also had to put the machine all the way against the cab because the rear springs couldn't handle the load directly over the axle.

ive seen a caddy bend right at the back of the cab before, from hauling the load too far forward.. truck was totalled from it, and scrapped..

very sad..

Turbo: exhaust gasses go into the turbocharger and spin it, witchcraft happens and you go faster.
