'72 RS. Wendy has had it for about 25 years. I'm sure the Tiburon has neat working items such as heater, defroster, and door seals to keep the rain out. Its companion for about 15 years was a '78 LTD that I had stuck a hitch on. The little 4x8 folding trailer was one of my better buys. Basically allowed the car to haul as a half-ton pickup truck, but with a much lower lift. As you set up household you'll be moving occasionally and the trailer will allow a single trip move.
AND!
You can put a hitch on the Savage and haul the same trailer.

Cool ! thats a long time for a car. I can just see it now running around town with a trailer hitched to my bike, the things I could bring home.
her car keeps the rain out and has heat
and you can see out the front window.
My old car had over three hundred thousand miles on it 1991. Its last day was when some one thought it was an abanoned car just left in a parking lot May 07. Had no heat for the last 4 years, and I had to put a wick in the roof near the windsshield to stop the rain water from dripping on the dach. the wick drained into a small bucket. when the sun was low you couldn't see out the windsheld caus it was so pitted, I had to hang my head out the side window to see.
thats how I ended up with just my motorcycle.

And here's some pictures of what a do-it-yourself hitch for the Savage looks like installed.

Both Lowe's and Harbor freight sell complete trailer kits you assemble yourself for under $500, I think.

I got my little red 4'X4' kit from Menards on a winter sale for $100. They're around $200 normally. Since they are short you'll need to put a 7' or so 2"x"6" or 2"X8" on it to set the bike on and put a bike stop for the front wheel. Don't forget good, strong racheting tie-down straps either.
Don't ask how I know, but simply screwing a vertical 2"X6" to the front of a plank won't hold up after the first application of the brakes. Just go to a sports bike shop and find a stop that'll fit your front wheel. Or after you see one of the ones made from pipe you might could get one bent from pipe at a hardware store cheaper.

Every time I see 'Don't ask how I know" I make sure I read carefully what is said, because the (obvioous) voice of experience should be listened to. Dont ask me how I know that.
