My auto towing observations:

I tow my waveblaster with my Mustang, which the manual says can tow up to 1000lbs. The S2K manual says no towing, but I suspect it could tow light amounts like a tool trailer. Similarly, I have seen Porsches with tool trailers. Also, Vipers have been set up for tool trailers. Each of those cars probably weren't intended for trailering either. My 2seater jetski and trailer are ~500lbs, and I definitely would not try anything more than that with the S2K, and would definitely consider some other vehicle unless you didn't have a choice - though I have considered doing the same with the Viper

I tend to agree with everything LeCar says... and he's usually a pretty good voice of reason... but the US is the worst polluting country in the world? Hmm. What about China, Russia, Mexico, Brazil, etc.... Seems there are a lot of places that are far worse.. per capita, at least.

Also, though I agree with most of your comments, I'd be careful making even thinly veiled threats against the Prez. The FBI just loves to hammer people with Federal conspiracy charges over such seemingly benign remarks...

It's funny, on the way home, I regularly pass a guy pulling a 18(+/-) ft. boat behind his 95ish Corvette. Looks like he's coming home from the lake.

Obviously his car has more torque, but I'd never dream of pulling something like that with a car.

I think I'm the AutoXer Kozmo's been refering to with the track trailer. Here's my take on the trailer thang.

I bought my S2K for one reason. To enjoy it. Part of that enjoyment comes from AutoX'ng the car. In order to do that I gots to have all my stuff with me......... hence the trailer. I don't see it being that much diffenent than bolting on a new suspension or a supercharge. Both will void the warranty but if you get more enjoyment out of it and are willing to pay the price if warranty work is refused then more power to ya.

Happy trailering!!

Oh by the way. I've pulled the trailer for several thousand miles over the past few months and aside from some tricky handling in the wet I've had zero problems. At 75mph on the interstate you hadly know it's there. I do take it very easy ans never "get on it" while towing.

What's really funny are the idiots that rev on me when i've got the trailer back there.............sheesh......

Just for the fun of it me and Bubba got out the wheels to my house and installed them. Then I pulled my house trailer down to the juke joint and back with no problems. I say go for it.
