Default Bought a car! No trailer to bring it home :(
Well I finally bought myself a Vette

It's in New Jersey, which is about an 8 hour drive for me

but I can't find a freaking car trailer

The one I normally use, got stolen in the fall

Any suggestions? I know you can rent a "trailer" from Uhaul, but there's no way I'm using a car dollie on my new (to me) vette

I saw it on their website, but after punching in what I want to tow, it says the corvette will not fit on the trailer.

Plus the maximum recommended speed is 45mph!!

You can get it detailed for a hundo, much cheaper than a one-way trailer rental and a $350 gas bill.

If you go this weekend we might be having a warm spell.
