That is a great picture. There is another one of a DSM pulling a bronco 2 out of a snow bank somewhere around here also.
However my only warning is make sure it is balanced on the trailer (whatever you are towing) and that it is reasonable
Being in the landscape business, went to go drive a truck and a trailer that someone loaded the previous night, didn't load it properly, I didn't check it in the morning and the worst feeling is fish tailing in rushed traffic...

^I had that issue when towing a car once. My friend loaded it backwards on the trailer (to make it easier to put in his garage) and the tail was wagging the dog. Need to make sure most of the weight is on the front of the trailer.

When I drove my Celica, 95talonracer had to come pull me out of my buddies ditch because their driveway was way icy and I slid to the edge of the driveway where it dips to go down to the culvert. We never got a picture but we should have!

Good call. I think I am going to try it sometime this summer. I am going to keep looking around for a tow package. I probably need a JDM bumper too then?

Enough said.
That's a clean 1g (minus the hood). So sexxxy!

Belongs to the DSMtalk site admin. Last I talked to him it was completely stock, but he's been collecting parts, and once it hits 200k he's doing a full rebuild and throwing a ton of goodies on.

I made a hitch and tow my jetski to the lake just fine.

If I can tow my 16' Lund Rebel completely full of gear with the forester and it's crappy 5spd, I'd think an evo could handle a small aluminum boat no problem.
