Not "bustin Merican chops", just wondering why towing has become taboo for passenger cars with car dealers here. I can't understand why my warantee is at risk if I tow a trailer with my car, when the same car is offered with a hitch, and is rated to tow 1600 pounds over there. It just seems weird.

Oh, and "Merica" was actually settled by "Uripeins" who came here on small, leaky wooden ships, before heading out in Conestoga wagons. Or as Bill Murray so perfectly stated in "Stripes" -- "…our forefathers were kicked out of every decent country in the world. We are the wretched refuse. We're the underdog. We're mutts."

CD :D

I had a long post but I lost it somehow. I think they said it takes about 28 hours to build one. They do it pretty much like a teardrop is built. But they have it down to a system. Pretty cool. And the race car driver towed it at a pretty fast clip!
I cut it three times and it's still too short!!
Perfection is all I ask.......
