SchizophrenicMC on 01:09:58 PM / 13-Nov-12I've had to reserve a Uhaul trailer on a number of occasions, including when I bought my S12. They've never wanted more than the rental fee plus insurance ($8) plus tax. Even on a full trailer.

Well in nevada its different if i was able to.rent a uhaul trailer or dolly i would have because there was no way in hell i wanted to tow.strap my car from norcal to socaL then to vegas that shit was not fun and extremly dangerous i just wasnt about to leave my 2000 dollar investment in cali on some random street just for it to get towed....

Your alternative is to find a friend with towing stuff. I seriously don't suggest tow-strapping a car any more than a few miles.

I almost bought a bolt on home made supercharger kit for my EscortGT....  I miss that car so much, even if it was wrong wheel drive.

Sorry, relevant since it had the Mazda BP engine.

Haha I'm taking about towing a car with a shoestring. Relavence went out in the first sentence.
I still come across old pony escorts with factory turbo.
