Don’t Use Cheap Trailers
So you want to show your expensive hypercar in Monterey. The best option is to hire a professional transportation company that will make sure your steel baby gets to where it needs to be, all in the comfort of an enclosed trailer. But no, you’re looking to save a little money (the irony is thick), so you instead gas up your 1990s-model Ford F-250 and pump up the flat tires of a rusted trailer in your driveway, and voila! Your steed awaits. Cheaping out on transportation had disastrous consequences for two vehicles leaving Car Week in 2024. In two separate incidents, the trailers for a $2 million 1934 Hispano-Suiza J12 Vanvooren Cabriolet and $1 million 1979 Ford Ghia Probe 1 Prototype went up in flames for reasons still being investigated. Next time, don’t tow your vehicle with a rig whose combined value is less than the cargo’s steering wheel.
