Car & Trailer

First pictures of car with trailer. Pretty good paint match considering I had the trailer long before the car.

That looks good.

Does NY still require a spare tire be carried for the trailer? I ask because it's funny if the trailer needs a spare, but the car doesn't.

Trailer

That's the best looking trailer I have seen and I have seen a few. I like the way the paint matches the over all look of the smart.
Well done I am envious. What do you intend to use it for?
How heavy is it. some here in Canada have hauled trailers over the mountains it wasn't a good scenerio.. but then again it was early days with the CDI's no one was sure of the limitations.

These trailers are designed to be pulled and are cosmetically designed to match the Honda Goldwing motorcycle.

They would also work quite well with the smart although the trailer hitch for the smart is a little pricey

Trailer

That's a Bushtec brand trailer. Very popular with Goldwing riders. They are made in Tennessee in a little town just north of Knoxville, but most Honda Dealers have them available or something similar. You can also buy direct from the factory. Not cheap but very high quality and pulls effortlessly.

I just bought a enclosed fiberglass trailer. It is the one that you see pulled behind Honda Goldwings. Funny thing I don't have a hitch yet.
