:Can your car pull a trailer?
This is a good point. I think Harbor Freight sells trailers that will fold up and you can store in your garage. I was tempted.
I keep an old compact station wagon for just this kind of thing. It's a hassle to keep up, and I only use it average 2 maybe 3 times a year, but it's great to have it when I need it. One year it looked like it would be expensive to get past the smog test and I started looking for alternatives, including a trailer as mentioned. Turned out I got the smog thing done for less than $100, so I still have the wagon. Brought home a 16' extension ladder with it just the other day on the roof rack.
