not to mention towing another car any other way but the right way is dangerous to other people on the road.
fuck other people, but there are a few "right ways" to tow a car

ok, fuck other people. im sure youd be saying that when some asshole is towing a car improperly and it loses control, car veers into your lane head on and kills your kid in the back seat.

fucking retard.

I towed a caprice that only had 3 wheels on a two wheel dolly. I didn't used to give a shit about myself or others though. I spent the scrap yard money on some good drugs though

Its hard enough dealing with traffic with an extra 4000 pounds on your ass and blind spots like a mofo.
yeah cause a ef shell weighs about 4000 pounds  :?:


no, but with a trailer it's close. white people do things the right way, i wouldn't expect you to understand.
Im white and I never do things the right way  :mexi:

here's the deal; I cannot come up with el cheapo way to transport an EF shell 200 miles up the coast back to my place without spending well over $200.

the problem is I don't have any towing equipment for the van I have, and a tow hitch set is $130, then $80 to rent a car dolly, etc.

a towing company is out of the picture due to the ridiculous rates since gas went up so high.

car rental companies restrict any towing with their vehicles, so getting a truck with a hitch is impossible.

I even thought about road side assistance with my insurance company, but they only tow to get repairs at a nearby shop.

Any ideas? I know it's a long shot, but you guys have delivered some great ideas more than once.

A tow dolly would work perfectly fine.

I'm not sure where ur at in N fl, but my transporter guy quoted me $150 to the Jax area.

if the shell is rolling and has decent tires, i use a towbar. i got mine for $50 from HF and is awesome. you have to have a hitch though

Last time I saw 2 guys pulling a car (with rope), it snapped and the puller kept driving. Hilarious.

Call around to see if any tow company is hurting, or has a "job" in that area. If they have to take something near, they wont' charge much if they make money on the return trip.
