One less excuse for not going out there and having some fun ...
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Randal came by and dropped off a set of (slightly used) schlicks. They still have plenty of meat on them, so this should work just fine. GoodYear R250 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)  |

I believe it has to be a "fifth wheel" trailer and you also need to up-grade your drivers license. |

Correct me if i'm wrong, but i believe that is only true if you're towing the trailer with a truck. From what i have read, if i pull a small single axle trailer behind the 914 the same speed limit should apply as without the trailer. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

They charge you per axle. A car towing a trailer is still a car+trailer(# of axles). There is a sign as you pull up. And yes, you are limited to 55mph (been harassed in CA for that one).
