Just bear in mind that you are only allowed to do 80 km/h when you tow a trailer in Germany. The rest of the time it just stand in your way.
I prefer a luggage rack that mount on the trunk lid. A decent one should hold 4 tires.

He's so thin, he only needs place for 2 beers :wink:
Unlike me, who needs a BIG trailer... eh, I mean luggage rack to carry a decent supply of the golden nectar.

If you put enough beer in the trunk, you might be able to balance that thing out and get it to turn.

I guess I should follow up with this

I've been doing a little more homework on what it would take to get tires to the track, I know I can get 2 in the car with no problem, I just need a way to get the other 2, so instead of driving 80km/h with a trailer, I found this
http://www.izoomgraphics.com/index.php? ... ex&cPath=4

They have them in stock for Miatas, WRXs, and S2Ks, and have sent me a form to measure my car to have one custom made. I'll only use it for the 2 rear tires because of the weight, but it looks like it'll work

with just 2 17"x11" wheels, you should still be able to see the lights, but I'll have to measure it to be sure. It should be easy to rig something up to hold the license plate

Long term, I'm thinking something like this would probably be easier to deal with and cheaper than a wife :lol:

Plus I wouldn't have to worry about a hotel room or work space at the track. 8)
