I totally got it, I should of added a smiley to my "that's a horrible..."  My reply was a feeble attempt to make a strawman argument. By the way I'd never heard of the "Strawman" before and found the link informative and interesting. Thanks for starting this thread. You sir are a gaas...

That's a terrible suggestion.  If we simply find "mindless" people to argue with, we'll never hone our intellectual acumen.

It would be to heavy for compact cars that recommend a class 1 hitch only. This requires a class II hitch.

Too heavy???  I read the article. It weighs 240 lbs. empty.  In transit can carry 100 lbs of cargo with a class 2 hitch. Set up, the floor can support over 1000 lbs. I don't know if I'd want this but think this is a lot more versatile and easy than those car top campers. Hope they succeed...

I'll start with my needs with story following for anyone who wants to read it. 1) I need my Ford Transit van with major front end damage towed 8 miles from Mexicali MX to Calexico CA That means crossing the border from MX to CA 2) I will probably need an interpreter to help communicate with...

The Crash I was driving north on Highway 5 When the machine gun carrying soldier motioned for me to stop and get out, I thought nothing of it.  I knew what he was going to ask-"Do you have any drugs or guns?"  I'd gotten used to armed men looking through my van. Mexico, I was going to miss...

I was going to wait to post this, until I got a second opinion but will do it now and apologise later if needs be. I went to Franco Dental right near the border and saw DDS Evangelina Robles who cleaned my teeth.  After the cleaning she said I had 12 cavities, needed a crown replaced and wanted...
