Before yall freak on the miles the car seems in very good shape,been driving it daily for a few months with no issues.
The event is 3 hours from home. Thoughts? |

As soon as I read the "3 hours from home" part of it, it's a no-brainer. Trailer it.
Just remember, it doesn't have to be a "truck". My first tow rig was an E150 van with the 4.6L. It didn't get going very fast, but as long as you paid attention to how you loaded the trailer, it went down the road great. |
