Need tow vehicle in Sacramento this weekend

I found a VW project car that I just have to buy, but I need help getting it home. I have a trailer I can borrow, but don't have a suitable tow vehicle. I only need to tow the car 10-15 miles. Willing compensate in cash/beer/lift time/welding/tubing bending...

I was hoping to be able to fetch the car Sat AM.

Thanks!

Thom - buy my Bus. I'll tow it up to you and then we can go fetch your Bug with my Touareg.

Thom, if you can wait until Sunday, I might be able to help you out. I'll trade you a tow for the heater backdate stuff you make. I'm coming from the Bay Area.

By the way, how much does the trailer and VW project weigh? My Xterra can tow 5000 lbs only. I think jrdavid's Toureg can tow 7700 lbs.

AAA won't tow a non running car, unless you can play it off somehow, I have tried

Chris, since when do you have an Xterra??? Does it ever end with you and your new vehicles?? You have a sickness young man !!
