Message	There's a local guy who uses his volkswagen sedan to tow his AMG SLK55 on a trailer with spare set of wheels/tires & tools. Not really sure where this myth got started in that we have to have trucks to tow anything. The Z32 is not THAT heavy. Just make sure you do everything correctly regarding not damaging the vehicle in tow. "The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of "liberalism", they will adopt every principle of our socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without ever knowing how it happened.... I no longer need to run on the Socialist Party ticket because the Democrat Party has now adopted our platform." --Norman Thomas, 1944 Socialist Party Presidential Candidate "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." --Winston Churchill END THE FED ....learn why, in 42 minutes
