Well, I went and did it. I bought a new car trailer. But wait there's more.......This is used. Registered and titled and towed home but never had a car on it. The old man that had it was going to pull it behind his MH with his KIA spoilage on it. Damn trailer probably weighed more than the car! I got the trailer (a Big Tex 16 ft) all new straps and tie downs, and a new spare tire and wheel. The trailer has brakes on all 4 wheels and break away brake system as well. Couldn't pass up a 3500 trailer,,,,,,,,,for 2 grand even if I am CHEAP! Dave

A friend of mine gave me a nice 14' car trailer.
It's got surge brakes and I'm having a heck of a time getting them working right.
I'm going to PA next weekend to pickup my new project, brakes or not!

Syracuse is way too boring, Bunch of old farts sitting behind their cars complaining just about everything. Too hot, too crowded, and too many idiots. The 36 should be ready around that time so maybe I`ll come out there to give Bill and you guys a visit but I won`t do the fairgrounds. The 36 should give me around 20mpg as opposed to the 3mpg the coupe gets. "Trailer queen"? You are the only queen I know of Charlie. ....lol. ...(it`s a joke son, don`t get yer panties in a crumple.)

Now how do you know what Syracuse is like, having never been there?
Besides, it's fun to cruise around and break balls on all the old farts sitting behind their cars complaining.
One thing you got right. It's too damn hot there!
Next year I'll have the motorhome there with the air running all day.
Bluemoon Bill is MIA. Last I heard he was kiddnapped by the SLA and was seen on video robbing banks or something.
Panties in a crumple?
My thong is just fine.
Try and get THAT picture outta yer head today! hehe

Johny can you send me some pixs of your trailer? I am going to sell mine and i want a rollback.(ready too buy now) Mine is a nice trailer but it has tire racks and a big box on the front. Its more for race cars so you can lock all your stuff up. 2000. If anybody wants it. 6 lugs wheels and all new bearings and tires. Who makes the roll back? I saw one at rainbeck but i cant find the guy. They were bust his stones because he was selling in the swap meet instead of a 800 dollar spot.

I need a small 4x4 trailer to cart my Rascle around with. If that is I don't sell my 46@15000 to help cover some bills here. <----Spam

I built a rack that slides into a reciver type hook-up under the back of my Stude to carry Debbe's scooter. Don't know what a Rascal wieghs, but I bet it's heavier than the one I have. Dave

I did the same, it's a hitch and carry. I have a trailer hitch that could pull a 40 footer, lol. i had a small scooter that weights about 90lbs plus a cooler and chairs, luggage in the truck and 4 people in the car on the way down to Charlotte. i had to stop at a buddies shop and jack the car up one notch on the rear shackles cause my tires would rub on a curve. This scooter weighs in at 515 lbs. So it's gotta be a trailer or as i said, if I sell it i'll pick up a nice little pick up truck with what's left over after paying off some bills.
