More peolpe come and talk to me about the fact I use an ex-police car than what I am towing. Oh well.

 

[Boost231]

what. how does it tow?

 

[jasjamz]

LMAO!! Looks like the feds got ya!

 

[boostingbuick]

It tows great. Full weight car, and heavy trailer. I got a class 4 hitch and load leveling spring bar for the trailer. I have had it at 70 and tows like a pick up. Solid steering and brakes very well. I will never own a pick up again. Put a 3.73 gear in it and it flys when there's no trailer. Just put a good radiator in it and :biggrin: . Plus I pass a cop going the other way going way too fast and never look twice. I am hooked for life. I love my Buick in all, and could never call my cop car fast, but's a ball.

How far do you live from the tracks you attend?

 

[boostingbuick]

About 18 miles. If your are wondering why I'm towing it, it's for the picture. But yes, when I go to Bowling Green this is what I'm using.

Apparently most of you don't remember the old days when it was unusual to see a wagon or passenger car towing a car to the track..

Impalas, Caprices, Montegos, Newports, etc.

Cool rig!

 

[Electrajim]

COOL combo.

Tell me this, when driving on the highway, does everybody bunch up behind you and not want to pass with the GN in tow too??? :tongue:

No. But it does suck when your trying to go fast ( without trailer ) and everyone is doing the speed limit. But other wise I love driving the thing. I find myself putting my buick money in this thing. Its a blast to drive.

 

[Race Jace]

cool

That is real balls-e. My buddy did that with his Mustang and rolled the car on a turn and totalled everything. You need the wind resistance from the tow vechile to sheild the car when towing on the highways. I am sure you would be fine on the roads, but I definately would not want to try that on the highway. The weight should be balanced properly from front to back. Not a good thing when the back is much heavier thean the front. Be extremely carefull, because if you ever catch a rot with that, its gonna be all over but the crying. I almost lost my Dad's car off our trailor back in 96 going to a Precsion test and tune day and that was in a 96Explorer.

I had a class IV on my impy. Towed my 1/2 ton 12 miles when the tranny went out. Never had a desire to tow anything semi large with it again. It's just to hard to see around the load in a car compared to a truck.

 

[gregmondro]

It looks like la migra came to impound your monte, lol

 

[boostingbuick]

The car has a 4 link in it with a watts link. It has 12 inch front and rear rotors. I put a gear in it to help with the load, trans and engine cooler. And I put a large rad in it. And I use a Class 4 hitch with a 8000 lbs of weight distribution bars on it. I have been happy with the way it pulls a trailer. I will pay more attention although. Thanks.
