Outboard Pushes Suburban

Driving on the highway, I watched a passing Chevy Suburban towing a boat with an outboard motor. The motor was obviously in neutral because the propeller was spinning like crazy from the slip-stream under the car.

I turned to my wife, pointed to the boat, and said, tongue in cheek, “Look, that’s a great idea! Those Suburbans are heavy and burn a lot of gas, so this guy started his boat motor so the propeller will help PUSH him!”

My mechanically clueless wife said, in all seriousness, “Wow! That IS a good idea. I wonder why more folks haven’t thought to do that.”
