Towing

Well it's getting closer to the time I get to go pick up my formula. But I'm having issues getting it home. All I have now to drive is a '97 Grand Prix, which I could put a hitch on, but according to Uhaul.com its not heavy enough to pull the firebird w/ a tow dolly.

Any suggestions? I've tried car rental places for the trip but it seems that they only rent locally, not for one way travels. I have about a 1500 mile drive home that I would rather not put the firebird through after having set for as long as it has. I know the car runs but there have been issues brought to my attention about driving a car that has sat for lengths of time that I wont have time to address before putting it on the road.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
PNTHR88

Go to a rental place and bring a friend. Go get the Formula, you drive that and your buddy can drive the rental back.
