Well...to make a long story short...

I needed a car trailer to tow my last Fiero down from Michigan to NC (has been stored in my grandpa's garage since I moved to NC 3 years ago). I checked the price for a U-Haul, and they wanted $450 for a one way rental. Then....my accountant suggested "Why don't you just buy one up here, then sell it when you get back to NC?"

Well....here is my new toy...

I think I will be "unable to sell it" once I get to NC. And no, you can't borrow it.

Damn. Not even for the weekend?
Seriously, Nice Trailer. Hows the fit with the Fiero up there?
Good places to latch it down?
I might have to go get one. What did you pay?

Only way anyone will borrow it is if myself and the truck come with it...and I am not cheap.

Fiero fits nicely between the fenders with enough space to spare for when I do the widebody...and the fenders are low enough that the Fiero doors will open over them.

Yup...D-rings in multiple places around the deck. Plus, I got it over to my grandpa's garage, and the first thing he said is "it needs a winch to pull the car up onto it...I have a nice electric one sitting in one of these boxes, let me find it."

More than I wanted to pay...but less than expected considering the poor economy here in Michigan. I can easily turn a profit if I decide to sell it once I get to North Carolina.
