Default Honda S2000 trailered

After countless people told me that you can't put an S2000 on this trailer:

This trailer is a 16' dove tail trailer. It weighs 1500 lbs.

Let me know what you guys think.

Here are my gas mileage stats for my 2007 Honda Ridgeline.

The ramps that come with the trailer are only 4' long. The angle is too steep with such short ramps. I removed the center four planks and bolted them together to form 14' ramps. The trailer place I bought the trailer from said this trailer wouldn't work. They tried to get me to have one built that would cost 5 grand. This trailer cost me 1500.
