Re: [VWoT] I'm desperate...someone please help...advice, vehicle, whatever



I'd be careful of towing something almost the same weight as your tow vehicle, it is most definitely not a good thing when the trailer can steer the tow car. I'm sure the Jetta has the power, just not the weight.

Sorry the timing doesn't work. Have you considered renting an SUV or something that comes with a hitch stock? Don't the new Envoys and such come with hitches?

Grr...currently my best route is to use my mk1 jetta with the towing
adapter that Mark whipped up on his mk1 scirocco.
In which case I'm going to be straining that poor little car
But I think it could handle it but I use to towing with a big heavy
vehicle that will actually force the trailer to follow.

Awwww shitty man, I'd offer you my Golf, but it just went into the shop
and won't be out until Friday. How heavy is the car you're bringing
back?

barely
made it up the hill, so its in no condition to tow. So now I find
myself
with the plan of towing a vehicle back from philly PA. but with no tow
vehicle...FUCK I SHOULDN'T HAVE SOLD THE CUTLASS!!!!!!!
Anywho, so my plans were to drive down thursday and come back friday.
So here's my hail-mary, shot in the dark, mutha-fucka of a
prayer...does
anyone here have something with a hitch that I can use to tow a VW
with?
I have the tow dolley lined up (thanks mark)...but nothing to tow it
with...if someone on here has a vehicle and the time (thursday and
friday)
I would gladly compensate them well cash wise as well as cover gas,
food...ho's...whatever!
Otherwise I don't know what I'm gonna do.

Russ, what did you do to tow that jetta back from kingston?
Anybody know what the cost is?

I'm desperate...anybody who can help me out, hook me up
whatever...call me
