    Default Transport a Porsche Boxster that doesn't run

    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

    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?

    I was thinking the same thing.

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