Say you want to take 1 car in for service and use the 2nd car to get your ride home while waiting on service but you don’t have 2 people?

And without a tow truck or trailer connecting piece?

What happens if car 1 is faced forwards and to the left of car 1 is car 2 faced backwards , but the front drivers seats are aligned next to each other ? Both front drivers seat doors would need to be Kept wide open and your seating would be in a narrow opening in between the 2 cars.

Then couldn’t one straddle between the 2 cars and use the right foot to power car 1 and right hand to steer car 1

Use the left foot to power car 2 and put car 2 ignition in reverse and use left hand to steer car 2

Is this possible to pull off? And you would have to drive both at same speed and align the steering wheels perfectly straight on both

At any turn you would get out … do car 1 first then car 2 second …. Then re-align

And using warning lights of course

Just leap frog. Drive 1 mile, park. Walk back to car 2 and drive it two miles (1 mile past car 1). Easy peasy I do it all the time.

Gezzzzes, why not take the one vehicle for service, and call uber to get you home.
Are you that poverty stricken?

At first I began by taking your post at face value...... then I read some of your other posts. It all makes sense now.

These days day-to-day vehicles are being made larger and larger, as well as smaller and smaller.


The "large" vehicle can be large enough, and the "small" vehicle could be small enough, so that you can put the "small" vehicle inside the trunk (or on top of) the "large" vehicle.

That may be so, but the OP doesn't seem to be applying it to the elephant in his room. How's your financial/lifestyle wake-up call proceeding these days? I suppose you could sell your two car act idea to a circus.

Have we reached the ends of the internet with such a proposition? Seriously, it would be reckless to operate two motor vehicles at once. Ask a friend or hire a driver to give you a ride back.

I'd say as long as you using the "warning lights" then I don't see the issue...LOL

Please put down the bong and step away from the table!!

Instead of walking, use a bicycle. It's a good idea to keep one in your car anyway in case of mechanical trouble or an EMP event.
