The cars I've seen lingering around my job range from weird to freaking awesome!

And yes, I unashamedly stole the title from EL_ULY. ;)

Ingleside, Illinois!

Gurnee

Gurnee, again...

Buffalo Grove!

Buffalo Grove

Arlington Heights

Buffalo Grove

Bonus

GT500? Sure, we'll go with that...

Too small for any other car, perfect for me!

Was that a Viper with a hitch?

This needs to become a thing. Sports cars and super cars towing stuff looks awesome. Then again ever since the Top Gear Caravan episode where they suggested the Viper would be an awesome towing car, I've wanted this to be a thing.

Apparently I need to spend more time in Gurnee! lol

There may be an i3 cruising around the Vernon Hills area before too long. My company may be leasing one for when corporate types come into town.

Pretty common at track days. People drive their sports cars to the track towing a small trailer with race slicks, tools, fluids, etc.

I work in Buffalo Grove and I swear I've seen that model s. There's actually a good amount of them up here in the north subs.

Better yet, it's a Viper ACR with a hitch, which is even more impressive.

A good friend and my old Theatre director at the community college I was at drove a Jaguar XF to school, drove that once. Also drove the Land Rover she had as a loner when her XF was in the shop. So if you see a blue XF in the Glen Ellyn area, it's probably hers.

Shoot, even us microcar owners tow things. The Europeans say don't tow more than 1,000 lb with a smart...

U-Haul was pretty clever with the wiring...

You don't want to tow something with a car that has the exhaust in the middle, though. Can't imagine how hot those chains could become.

WHY ISN'T THIS A BIG THING YET?

Ah, others before me (Brabus owners) have already figured that out! Apparently the only part that gets hot is the ball mount. People have solved that problem with a simple heat wrap.
