I probably shouldn't tell about the time I towed a '71 hightop with a '74 Chevy Monza on a u-haul dolly with a strap-on bumper hitch. Oh, yeah, and it was 25 miles. Fun, fun, fun, as long as I didn't need to stop quickly (or even not-so-quickly). ;) Bottom line is that Jim is right: be smart when you tow.
