Can anybody tell me how I can get a non running awd car from Chicago back to Peoria? Is there a company that I can get ahold of, or anyone that wants to make a few $ and might be able to help me out? I have a friend that has an old van so I guess I could find a trailer, anywhere I might be able to rent one? I'm lost, and need to pick up a roller I found in Chicago by next weekend.

That all fine and great until something goes wrong.... ask spy, he's seen some of my great trailer pulling skills....
 Biggest problems with too small of a pulling vehicle are brakes and steering (and overheating the tranny). Main reason U-haul is so picky about what they let pull thier trailers is they only have surge brakes on them, and they aren't going to be liable when Joe Shmoe's brakes go out cruising downhill with a 3 ton load...
