Can I rent someone's trailer for Thursday?

I need to tow my car to the muffler shop on thursday the 1st of May to get the exhaust welded up. You can name the price, and of course I will replace anything if broken (not sure how to break a trailer but just in case). I know it's really short notice but I can't find a place that rents out car trailers so I'm screwed. I can pick the trailer up and I will return in later Thursday night. Name your price but remember I'm an 18 year old kid just trying to get this pos running :-).

if I had my trailer already Id help you out, but I dont have one yet. anyway, andy's offer is very good. esp. considering he's driving the truck/trailer for you and he lives soo far away. Im sure he's just offering to help you out. once you subtract out the price of gas, andys not getting much for all his time.

Andy...I appreciate the offer but I don't want to have someone driving all over plus I'm basically poor lol. I know you're probably not making anything, but you gotta know what it's like to be a high schooler w/ no money :-).

If I can get it to the exhaust shop by 3 I'm sure they'd have it done before they close. Hell the car might even be able to be driven home but I'm not sure. We're getting 9 deg. of knock retard and I think it could be from the open headers rattling the hell outta everything. Call me at 586 294 2321 anytime before midnite tonite and we can try to work something out. Either way, I appreciate you wanting to help. You guys make this hobby the great thing that it is. By the way, I'm located at 14 and Schoenherr which is in Warren and like 6 miles north of Detroit.

Well it looks like my friend's Jimmy isn't considered big enough to pull a trailer so I can't even rent one from uhaul unless I can get my sister's bf to drive it (he's got a 99 silverado z71 so that MIGHT be big enough). If Friday or Saturday would be better, I can make my schedule work since you're doing a HUGE favor by helping me out. I have a tournament Saturday but I can always have my best friend Kevin step in and take care of all the car stuff. He's a nice guy and I'll have him get you lunch or whatever if that's what ya wanna do. Give me a call or post on here. Thanks again man.

My mom's friend had a dolly and we towed it up to the shop. I drove it back w/ program that didn't have right gear ratios so my speedo said 130 the whole way back and it wouldn't shift past like 2nd but it made it. I loaded Bryan's program now that the map was fixed and the car runs absolutely perfect! And damn does it sound good :-). Watch out for the blue z cruzin the street ;-).
