The Ultima Tow Vehicle

Ultima trailer
Here is a trailer being hitched up to one of the fastest vehicles in the world. Your reasoning for purchasing a diesel F-350 and an enclosed trailer to haul your rusted E30 to the track is invalid.

    Up until the late 1970s a tow package was a factory option on Corvettes. In 1977 option code ZN1, Trailer Package, only 289 out of 49,213 ordered it.

      What were they thinking? Towing a boat or a small caravan? It’s hardly a typical work or only car in the family.

        Yes, boats and small campers. I used to regularly see a 1982 Collectors Edition Corvette towing a Master Craft Ski boat. Now it would be good for spare tires and wheels for the autocross set.

    I can get behind something along those lines.

      Truth be told, I consider myself a novice compared to some others out there:

      Still, I do have a roof rack and a pedal-assist electric vehicle (electric-assist pedal vehicle?) of my own, so maybe I’ll be more ambitious in the future.

        Hmm… I just realized my 544 desperately needs a hitch so that it can tow my Berkeley…

          True.

            Although I must admit I’m partial to my normal way of moving it. http://i.imgur.com/nFGJEX0.jpg
            …We’ve both gotten our mileage out of these two images. Haha.

            I’ve decided to treat the switch to Disqus as a resetting of the trip meter.

            Don’t even pretend like you own a car with a working trip meter.

            The talking digital dash in my Maestro can be prodded into announcing “TRIP DISTANCE” while displaying a wildly inaccurate (but monotonically increasing) number, so in some sense it works.

    In all fairness, that isn’t a very heavy trailer.

    I wonder if my Lotus 7 could pull my go-karts? How awesome would that look arriving at Mosport
