While impressive proof that not all purveyors of ostentation prefer to travel via private jet and chauffeured limousine, I still wouldn’t like to get stuck behind this well-heeled holidayer on a windy stretch of no-pass two lane.

I've towed a similar rig, except it's two sailboats stacked one over the other. It actually tows really well. On superhighway I don't even need to slow down, and it allows me to carpool and share gas expenses with another boat for long trips.
Remember to unload the car from the trailer before attempting to launch the boat. Otherwise, your Porsche dealer will get to use the "OK, who's the U-boat commander?" line at your expense.
Ditch the RV and the boat, cram a duffle-bag in the trunk and road-trip that s**t. It would be a nightmare for me to have to cruise along in such a numb behemoth knowing that you're missing out on all that driving potential.
I'd live like a hobo to have that Porsche for a summer.
You, me, and a lot of people I'm sure. Also, this…

As one who has travelled about 85K miles in a 40' diesel pusher, I can say, there ain't no better way to see all 49 states, 9 provinces, and a territory.
I hope to someday ship that sucker to 'Stralia for proper exploration of that country/continent.
I might should put a second diesel tank on it. 900 miles of range Douwn Undah might not be adequate, based on when we went in 2005.
The nice thing about tow vehicles that size, you don't notice much of anything you're towing if it's under about 8K lbs.
I'd also love to ship it to the UK/Europe, but it gets huge very quickly when spaces become small.
San Francisco was an interesting drive…as was NYC.
There's a lot of win in that pic. Swap the zodiac for a sailboat and I'd be in heaven.
At least he warns you he won't be going over 100 km/h.
Bah. This is how you transport your car on caravan holidays.

Followed a 26' Winnebago towing a 19' ski boat towing a jet-ski from NW Ohio down through the Appalachians to TN for a houseboat trip a decade ago. You could smell the brakes cooking going down the mountain because the driver, my Grandfather, refused to downshift and engine brake it. Total length was 4" shy of needing a CDL.
That smell is awful. There have been a few times when I've smelled it coming from semis driving down the western face of Donner Pass. Disadvantage of a soft-top is that recirc doesn't work so well. Ok, maybe on well-sealed, relatively new tops.
Now say after me, ostentatious overindulgence.
Just a little too precious.
