    Thanks for the info guys. Always wondered if these cars could do it. I have a small 4x6 trailer that will work perfect

      Dragonhealer, sorry to hear about Trash Wagon headed to the Trash Heap, but most importantly-- Carolyn is ok. Post up some pic's of the new Festivas when you get time. What are the plans for the cars, will they remain stock or Modified.
      An idea can turn to dust or magic, depending on the talent that rubs against it.

        Thank you Sir!
        One will replace Trash wagon, and the nice one will be Carolyn's DD.
        I promise I'll get pics up when we get them!
        No car too fast !

I borrow it to haul Miata racecars behind the Festiva.
          LE has never bothered me about it, not even on Interstate runs, though I won't go over 65.
          Sadly, Trash Wagon got totaled the other day, Carolyn is OK, and we are going to SF area after the holiday race weekend to pick up a couple of rust free ones. one is really nice, and the other runs but blows lots of oil smoke. both are priced appropriately.

          Meet Rack Meet ups won't be the same without trash. I think we can Frankenstein trash with trash2 and make Trashenstein.

              Backing it on wasn't an option?

              Any difference that makes no difference is no difference.

                I've been wanting to put a 2" receiver on my car. All I'm gonna be using it for is to hold a platform style bike rack with 2 bikes on it. I gotta get this figured out!

                  I really really really doubt I could have done it without scraping the side of the car on the trailer. There was roughly 3 inches on either side.

                    Back it onto the trailer, so the engine weight is in back, making it more balanced

                    EDIT: I see this was already addressed

                      Hmmm.... that don't look like a Festiva........

                      Could just be my monitor though.
