In reply to Indy-Guy :
Definitely that type of place. I actually parked behind a Jack in the Box right outside Houston Hobby, waiting to pick up a buddy at the airport to road trip back with me. I was just hanging, waiting and looking around, when I noticed the sign. The strip club was closed, probably a good thing because those ladies would have been all over me after seeing that hot wagon.
Now that i’m smarter this is how projects come home
"Old Smokey", my 89 Mustang LX, just off the trailer at a track day at Grattan in the mid-2000s:
"Ugly", my ill-fated E30 project on the day it came home:
Ugly's even uglier brother, the rusted-out parts car, on it's way to the metal scrappers:
My current 944 when I picked it up:
And on it's way to a track event at M1 Concourse:
My Miata on the way home last February. Will be listed on the for sale page soon.
The truck got more comments than the Miata.
Found one more
Many of them aren't on my current computer, but here's a collage of what was easy to find:
Does it count if the project is the one pulling the trailer?

I like that VW a lot.
In reply to Daylan C :
That's how I got my old 1rst gen Dodge Cummins home. Towed an empty trailer down to NC with a Colorado, bought the Dodge, hitched the trailer up to it, and towed the Colorado back to MD with the Dodge.
That Dodge was the best truck I've ever owned.
The rustiest Volvo 1800....in the world.
The rear suspension collapsed on it as I towed it home. Extra ratchet straps were deployed.
And another entrant into the "Two cars on a single car trailer" category:
That's two Volvo Amazons, each 14-1/2 feet long, on a 20 foot trailer.
My salvage title Montero towing my salvage title Avalon to the State Inspection for rebuild of both at the same time.

That is nice! Put me on the list if you decide to sell.
Another dual car take home. They do look much better on the trailer.
57 on it's way to new owner.
Scrap metal

Only an original mini could make a VW bug look huge
You might notice something of a theme here... In chronological order:
944 Turbo with NA front body panels
This one's really an NA
And probably the worst, cheapest, running and driving turbo ever
Car and truck (well, part of it) on the same trailer!
Not pictured: accidentally showing up with 3.5 straps and driving 10 miles with only three corners tied down.

We're going to need some better pictures of the truck setup in the top right and bottom left corners. I've had similar thoughts myself but was talked out of it by people more sane than you and me.
In reply to Dead_Sled :
You don't need people with that sort of negativity in your life.
(Says the guy who towed home two Volvos with the back half of one supported by a flimsy ramp and some ratchet straps.)
Lugging my Miata home with a U-haul van I dubbed the 4.gr8 after my 5-speed blew up on the Tail Of The Dragon this year. Only time I've trailered a car
In reply to volvoclearinghouse :
I always thought (still do!) that the Volvo was supposed to pull the trailer....
