Towing more than one broke car at a time

Creative solutions to hauling more than one "broke" car at a time. Not sure the Ferrari would fare well perched in the bed of his "neat truck" while the "cool car" was towed behind, but we managed to get the heavy load from one end of great-grandma's living room to the other, where the "elevantas" watched over the parked vehicles awaiting repair and Alistar conned great-grandpa out of another cookie.

Tie downs, cookies and towing cars

He spent an hour hauling an oatmeal cookie atop his "cool car" which was being towed by his "neat truck." Finally, the cookie fell to the floor and he looked at it sadly.
"Oh, no!" he said.
"Do you need a tie down, Bud?" I asked.
"Yeah," he said in a small voice.
I found a string, and with his permission, attached the cookie to the roof of the truck.
He spent the remainder of the evening hauling the cookie to feed the "elevantas" (elephants) and towing the car with the "broke brakes" around the floor. Finally, hunger won over feeding the "elevantas," and the cookie was happily devoured.
Who needs cable television when you have a wonderful grandson with a brand new vocabulary and an active imagination?
