well you dont HAVE to, you just have to pay taxes on the vehicle thats not around anymore. leave it to CT to screw you they will find a way. just like this past summer! in downtown they replaced all the sidewalks with new cement with a nice hand laid brick boarder all thru downtown, and new benches to sit on, and new brick crosswalks. but I hit the first bump in the road and dont stop bouncing thru the rest of them until a mile down the road. potholes, frost heaves, poor construction patching, but oh we NEED new sidewalks. screwy ass town

could have used a tow hook multiple times... instead I had to put straps around the sub frame which we all know getting back under that far of our boats not that much fun. also if your car is lowered like mine it's not the easiest thing in the world and it rubs on the radiator and lower front facia not good!

Are these being made? pics?

sweet deal take lots of photo's for us I would like a set if they are truly rigid and don't care what they look like since it's to serve a purpose.

also if you get one put on this may sound stupid but can you take a video of just something pulling you like 20 feet or something?

Well, if he's just gonna jerk the **** out of it, who needs the wheels to roll? They'll slide.

so the front has already been mocked up and installed? (to subframe?) I just am interested in one for the front cause I will eventually get a trailer hitch setup so I can tow a little trailer for regional meets, camping, track day for the slicks, etc. I found a video of an ls cobalt with trailer (seadoo on it) pulling a honda civic
