Last week I drove to Florida and back from PA with no issues. Towing 3 bikes. Dope. And I still pulled on a 08' Pontiac G8 GT. HA!

Here are some trailer pictars.

Bikes... 1, 2.5 and 3.

I know he got darn close to 30 mpg when he came to NC a bit over a year go to get the car tuned. I'd like to think he got in the mid to upper 20's :) Gotta love that 6th gear...

Anyways, looks awsome Dug, now there is no excuse for skipping SE next year!!!

I think it's a T-56 bolted to the El es Juan.

That's pretty cool, Dug! Did you re-spray the rear wheel arches and blend them all in with the rest of the car? It's looking good.

Didn't know they made 6 speed t'56s. Maybe a t56 is a six speed. Maybe I don't know jack about any of that.

latter seems most accurate..

yeah the latter is a little closer. t-56 is a 6spd, variations of it can be found in Vipers, Corvette's and F-body's (and the Mustang Cobra R)


Dug, thats awesome. Fast and reliable, hard combo to do (Especially pulling a trailer....)

I can only imagine what went through the head of that guy driving the G8 (they're pretty flippin quick)

Edit: Eh, it was the lambo having the trailer, then it was not that fun...
 
Haha would it make sense otherwise? I mean maybe the Volvette in the picture with a trailer hitched to the lambo would make more sense.
 
nice bikes Dug but I noticed the loaded trailer (2nd pic) doesn't look like the last pic. Also on the last pic I'm not sure if that is a reflection or if my eyes aren't working right, it looks like the driver side rear looks dented up? Did something happen to the wagon and? Just curious.


NM the last pic is a different trailer ...... looks like you picked up another bike maybe?
