Next week I'm headed over to my father's to look at building and installing a hitch, inspired by this:
Honda Insight Mods
My wife and I have been debating on how best to transport our junk when we move, and this seems to be the answer. Next summer we'll be taking everything up to Vermont, and there isn't enough to justify renting a moving van. We considered renting a second car, but for the price of the rental I can get a hitch installed and tow a small trailer, and I'll have the hitch forever.
