I'd have to agree.  I bought a trailer some years ago to tow my 84 RX-7 
autocross car around and it's been next to invaluable.  I've used it to 
move once but I've brought broken cars to my house on it more than I 
care to think about.  Much cheaper than renting all those times and 
definately cheaper than a tow truck! :)
