Let me tell you a thing or two about this tow bar.

This is the freedom machine for 914 pleasure driving - or track car dragging.

I have some lingering back issues from my days dirt bike racing that have forced alternate racing buckets verses the 914-Mengele torture seats. This tow bar adds another 500 miles of enjoyable driving with 914 pals verses being worn out just to get there.

I have use a similar device to deliver my car to several different specialty shops locally for various things while building my 911 conversion engine.

I have dragged my 914 to the WCR on PCH with the lovely wife steeped in all of the required comforts of a MBZ SUV only to join in on the drives of each day / then hooked up for the return home.

This system makes the actual driving fun again. The beat-down commute to the drive is eliminated and even if one has an unfortunate fuel pump failure or some other obscure part-failure, simply hook up and tow away.

The worst thing about the tow bar concept is how it eliminates the excuses. so many.......
I cant make the drive that far to go on a drive and the car might not even get there......... It is 90 degrees at noon. The 914 will burst into flames.......... The kids can't come to the hotel and play in the pool with the nanny while we go on the drive, open the picnic basket and have a pecky glass of red..........
or.....
I didn't get the car ready in time.

Well. La De Da.

Drag the not-working-in-time-car into the parking lot of a 914 event and learn more about your (car) problems than you ever wanted to know. In that lot, there might be Mark. There might be an Andy. There is always a Jim. There is probably a Keith. There is, in that lot, Larmo.......... no wait....... Clothing is no longer optional. Larmo is a 911 guy now but he will always remain the color of we the average 914 Goober.

I would say, on balance, that a tow bar is not an option for me. It is required. it gets my car to more places where I can use my car.

Unfortunately, the Boxster I just purchased has storage for a week, seat heaters, real lights, real tunes, a real AC and a real heater, no headers, real brakes, 7 gears, leather all over the place the list goes on.... ............ so my lovely wife wants me to take it on the drives.. My 914 goes on the block.
