I understand the practicality of it, but I'd never do it.
better than cramming a set of tires, tools food tools and camping gear with tools in the car while trying to take a passenger. It's hardly anything to make a big deal over.

Nearly every miata I see has one.

This just screams EURO specs.. It is amazing all of the cars I see here in Germany with a damn trailer hitch, BMW, Mercedes, Opel.. I'm not surprised they have this for the 8 here too. They have to tow a trailer if they buy anything at a home improvement store, trucks are hard to find around here. If you see one, its a good bet its an American driving..

Does noone on this board ride a bicycle?

I came across this thread and another so far in my search for how to add a hitch to my RX. No I don't want to tow a travel trailer, I want to be able to take my bike to the trail without having anything touch the paint of my nice car.

(we are talking 40lbs of Thule bike rack and 22lbs of bike here, not a couple thousand)

I'd tow tires if I was still Auto-xing too

personally whenever i see a sports car driving to a racing event towing a trailer with tires and whatever is needed, i think it looks pretty good. especially since that guy is driving to the race towing ****, is gonna rip it up at the track, then tack on his trailer on go home. that to me is the ultimate weekend race car. if it wasnt so hard to find one for the rx7's (uhaul used to make one for the FD's but stopped a few years ago)
