I have often visualized someone trying to persuade a trucker to tow his car, explaining that the car would fill the truck's wake, while negligibly increasing the mass.

Honestly, I do not think that it would work unless you could somehow attach the car with the tires on the rear of the trailer. Got it, I am awesome at parking!

Sure...
