    I have pulled cars many times with my S-10. It is definitely possible. If you get a full size trailer, it gets a little heavy. I would stick to a dolly, unless the car is really small/light.

      The car i need pulled is not street legal right now and I see it pointless to spend the money to get it legalized if its only going to be driven for a short distance. How much is it to rent a tow dolley and can i do it on a walk-in?

        What about it isn't "street legal"? It's probably fine to drive.

        At first I did it for fun, then I realized I made the investment and had to do it!

          tags are expired and no insurance.

          I suppose I could drive it but the parents dont want me to.

              you can get pro-rated one day insurance just to drive it home, and just fill out the back of your current registration card and throw it in the window and you are legal for 30-days as far as that goes.

                yea I could look into that, but if I can just get it around to where it needs to be without having to pay anything thatd be even better.

                  I don't even think you need to do that. I thought if you bought a car, your insurances will automatically cover it for X amount of days.?

                        The S-10 is either a 4.1L V6 or a 4.3L actually because its close to the same engine as are bravada (4.1). Kris's GTP is either a 3.8 or 3.6 V6 that's what you're thinking of....We would be hauling 1 car to DL and then dropping it off and hauling 1 car back. Shouldn't be to bad, you think?

                          When and where? If its that big of a deal, just have someone else drive it back.

                          If you just bought the car, it doesn't have to be registered. Just make sure you have a title signed into your name. It also wouldn't hurt to have the contact info for the person that owns the car that you are buying for those just in case situations.

                            ^I think we may have to re-arrange our plans actually, I might have to get the guy to meet us in fargo and then we go from there, Ive never even seen the car in person ya know?, but I should be getting some pictures here pretty soon. It'd be kind of a waste to pull a car all the way somewhere and not want to do it....so I suppose I can try and get him here.

                                    Well not only with getting pulled over, it is covered if lets say you got into an accident.

                                          because if it is a 2wd auto car i hope you realize you need to either put the rear on the dolly or unhook the DS

                                          2wd rear wheel automatic car (I'll be driving automatics for awhile, reason obvious) but I dont think we will need to go anywhere, Im actually working on getting him to bring it to me anyway.
