Unique Civic Siting - Room on Wheels!?!
so i was driving on 77 S in West Virginia the other day and ran into a 66 year old woman with the weirdest looking thing behind her Civic I had to ask her about it and she said it was a 'teardrop trailer'...
wtf is that? was my first thought, but it turns out it is a small, light weight, camper trailer. she showed me the inside - pretty cool thinks me. now, i am dead set on getting something like it.
i started my hunt and came across Little Guy - they make modern and classic teardrops so I think the modern will allow me to almost get a custom match to my car...
don't worry - i'll be back to post pics...i just need to hammer down where to get one and how to get the best deal. i was watching ebay, but didn't come across any 'perfect fits' so i think i'll call them direct....dunno.
that's it...my first post and it more about a trailer than a car, sorry. but i think i'll have a deadly combination of cool on my hands VERY SOON!!!

Camping - yes. I know I could use it for other stuff too... maybe tailgating or something.
With respect to weight:She told me hers weighed less than 700 lbs...don't know about you, but that is do-able for my baby.

700lbs is going to make you car slow as hell and it isn't good for it. I notice a big decrease in acceleration just with three other people in my car and that is only a little over 300-350lbs.

Thats a nifty little thing but I don't think you're gonna like your car with it on, like some have already said just with extra people in the car i notice a difference in acceleration (esp if you drive a manual). For an old lady acceleration means nothing coz they dont drive faster than 35 MPH.
