              You guys ever get pulled over doing that?

              I'm not hating, just wondering how inconspicuous a load attached to a sub-compact is to police.
              Any difference that makes no difference is no difference.

                Never been bothered while pulling with my Golf. Though that's still more substantial than a festy.

                  Around here you can pull just about anything as long as it doesn't fall off and you can do the minimum speed lol

                        I just realized my need for a hitch. The thought of the Festiva towing the quads or the Harley around town is sweet. Is there a hitch that is commercially available or are most of them home built?

                          I have also been looking into hitches lately for my aspire.
                          I feel I could support a load well with the stiffer suspension.

                          But the curt hitch I usually see offered doesn't look very sturdy.

                          I've heard of people having custom hitches welded up.
                          That would be kind of cool.

                            I've been running my custom hitch using 2-12"x12" plates bolted to my bumper and the spare tire well. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1431536344.726941.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1431536353.299420.jpg

                              Does anyone know if the curt hitch would be capable of towing a motorcycle from Wisconsin to California? My bike weighs around 500lbs
