Default Need a favor, $$$$ is involved!

I am needing to trailer my camaro and move it from Houston to Lewisville, the rear is busted. I don't have a trailer. Does anyone have one they would let me borrow or tow it for me and would be available to do that sometime in the next month or so. I would be willing to give you cash for gas and time. You can email me if you want, whitesscamaro@hotmail.com. Thanks.

you can rent one for a day for about 60 bucks. Rental Stop in GP/ARlington area will do that.

Well I had wanted to try and give my money to a member for their help. If I can't find anyone then I will definitly keep that in mind. I looked at UHaul and the little computer online said that my 1500HD would not pull the camaro. I think that is BS. I hope the Rental Shop has a different opinion.

My brothers 2001 Dodge 1500 pulled his 1971 Chevelle with not very much trouble.

I have a 02 Silverado 1500 & I pulled a 18ft steel trailer all the way to Las Cruces, New Mexico & pulled my Formula back with no problems at all. Hell I got 18 mpg back with the car on the trailer.

How far is Lewisville? I might consider doing it. I've got a 18' car hauler and a 2500HD Duramax.

It's the car. Uhaul thinks that the f-body is too low to put on the trainer/tow dolly.
It's the long nose of the f-body too.
It's locked in their computer system like this.

Tell them you are towing some other model vehicle.
