I suppose it's the way I was brought up. "Always be prepared". I tend to take more than I need on road trips, like my rollerblades, fishing pole, tools, and especially clothes. I hate running out of clean clothes and having to do laundry towhere it cuts into my "fun" time. What compounds this storage problem is when someone comes along on the road trip as a passenger. Where do you put an icechest and camping gear if someone is in the passenger seat? This is my only car and I don't think I'll buy a truck for a couple of years.
I was thinking of getting a small motorcycle trailer to tug behind my car. I wouldn't have to tell my passenger, over thanksgiving it was my younger brother, to put his stuff in duffle bags so more things will fit in the car. I would like the hitch to hold one of those bike racks too. I haven't taken my bike anywhere since I bought this baby. Are the hitches for these cars ugly? Do they install and remove easily or are they hidden enough to leave on fulltime? Rather than sacraficing my preparedness with limited room, I figured my car can pull a small light weight cargo bin. Hey, if a motorcycle could pull it then so can my GT.
O.K. ---How's about a few opinions on the idea. Who tried this idea? Thanks for any of your input.

whew, this was a long one.
