...and my final tow fer this move. My car!

Yeah...I know the back end is waaaay too low. I should've brought the adjustable hitch but I couldn't find it in the garage after I unloaded the last load. At least I arrived safely...

Got an indicated 23.8mpg (65mph) going back to Houston with my standard aerocap configuration. Put the hatch up when I got the car carrier and got an indicated 15.7mpg towing (55mph). Not too bad I guess.
