[Leica] Grandpa's Boat

[Christopher Crawford]

I'll stick to GM's recommendation. That car was WAAAAAY too expensive to risk f--king up. I think next summer I might buy an old beatup used pickup to carry it in. I don't want to spend a lot of money, since I would only use it for transporting the boat and on the rare occasions when I need to haul something.

My grandma gave me the truck after he died and I drove it for several years until the transmission died and the cost to fix it was more than it was worth. I had a Crown Victoria after that and I have a small trailer for the boat that the Crown Vic could pull. My current car is a Cadillac CTS and the owners manual says that it was not designed to tow a trailer and should never be used for that. I'll take GM at their word on that; the car was too expensive to risk damaging it.

    Fitting a tow bar to any unibody car can be done quite easily and 
    shouldn't damage the car provided it's done properly by a professional 
    and you're not continuously towing on very bumpy roads for any distance.

    Mind you, Ric's suggestion of the four sneakers is a lot cheaper and 
    probably quite effective and practicable especially if you don't have 
    too far to drive to water.
