Interesting subject; push vehicles.  Street rods and such are common
recruits for this task.  But how about some of the real muscular or more
unique types.......
Carl Heap's pickup comes to mind. Don't recall if he actually used it that
way; but it sure was a piece of work.
Who was it a few years back that had the "150mph" jeep?
Then there's Roy Creel's motorhome; a case study in the economics of race
car logistics.
