Very stupid question

[Avery4]

So I might be moving about 500 miles away. I have 3 cars. I am selling my 2005 Civic, but keeping my 2004 Civic and 2000 Stratus that almost blew up yesterday. My question is: can I tow my 2004 Civic with my 2000 Stratus 2.4l? Probably not, but if I can, it would really make life easier. What do you think?

Wow!

I think you answered your own question right there!

Will it damage either car?

BAHAHAHA! Please, keep the jokes coming. In all seriousness though, do not tow the Civic with the Stratus, or any other passenger car, its just not safe. Why would you sell a Civic and keep a Stratus that almost blew up?

The two Hondas don't run but the Dodge does! Love it!

Both Hondas have wiring harness and computer issues. The only issue the Stratus had since I bought it for $400 was maintenance items and a radiator hose. Not gauges bouncing and randomly losing all electrical power.

According to Trailers.com, towing capacity is 1500 lbs, requires manual transmission.

How far are you planning on towing them, and will all four wheels of the vehicle being towed be on the ground?

I will tow about 500 miles and all four wheels will be on the ground.

No, you can't dinghy tow a 2004 Civic.

Hook up the three cars in a line like a train.
Use rope to do this, about 100 yards between each vehicle.

I'm surprised the 2004 Honda isn't running.
Didnt you just change the A/C compressor oil?
That thing should be running sweet!

Lastly, where are you moving to?

What does it mean to dinghy tow?

This is a terrible idea you will cook transmission in no time at all. I would suggest finding an alternative means to get the car where it needs to be!

 

[Avery4]

Even if I install a large additional cooler?

Can I tow the Civic with just the back wheels on the ground?
