Hi All,
I need to move a non-running Boxster from Denver (Evans & I-25) to the Monument area. My one vehicle with a trailer hitch doesn't have working trailer lights.
Any ideas on what towing company would be able to do a low clearance vehicle that distance for a reasonable price?
OR
If anyone has a truck and flatbed that I could borrow, I'd be happy to make it worth it for you.
It's got to be a flatbed, not a tow dolly, because it's rear wheel drive.

Thanks for any ideas ya'll have!

Wire up a set of trailer lights to use the sockets in your vehicle with a hitch and remove the taillights from your car and plug in the trailer set :)

Or just turn on the hazards on the Porsche and tow it like that :p

yeah,
I think I found a guy to do a quick fix on my truck, then I'll just rent a flatbed (found one for $40).

They aren't hard to wire.
Depending on vehicle they shoud already have a harness, if not they make a plug in for you vehicle.
Yellow=Left
Green=Right
Brown is running lights
white is ground.
Brake light are same as turn signals.

Getting a none running German car and you can't fix your trailer lights?

Uhaul, I used them when my jeep busted an axle. You can rent a truck and trailer.

I've got a trailer and a big truck. But getting the car on said trailer could be an adventure... Let me know.
