Good thing he put that towel down. I'd hate to see any body panels get damaged. Certainly not those fenders.

nah, he's being sensible... that's to stop the BIKE from getting scratched. Top Man.

It's kind of a waste of a car.  It would be cheaper to rent a trailer to tow the bike on, instead of gutting a perfectly good car that you can use when the weather turns bad.  If you factor in the value of the car (whole) if you sold it, the monetary waste is even higher.

I can understand not everyone wants to own a truck, but over in europe, everyone is towing a trailer with their little sub-2-liter engine cars. I put a hitch on my 3000GT and towed a pair of motorcycles no problem (among many other things) and still managed 27 mpg, which is better than whatever SUV or truck I could have borrowed.

for $30 you rent one of these bike trailers...

Rented it to go see a (2nd) VF500F that looks great in the pictures but  turned out to be a piece of shyte.

Returned to the trailer rental place and they sympathetically waived the charge :beer:

I routinely get 40-45 MPG (US)

was pretty sure I posted this already, but I guess not.

Not your 40mpg, but pretty sure it would still win in a drag race with the trailer attached.

I've thought about doing that with a Subaru wagon. But I don't have one.

 

 

A bit like this from Mighty Car Mods?
