Does anyone know of a place within the Washington D.C. area that rents car haulers besides Uhaul or Hertz or Penske? My car is now finished being repaired and I cannot wait to go get it. I would love to drive it back but since I also rebuilt the engine I need to break it in correctly and driving back from Richmond at a constant rate isn't really the way I planned on breaking in the new parts.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions you can offer.

Take rte. 15 back or 522 from Richmond. Great twisties and the motor will thank you for it. A great way to get re-aquainted with the car

X2. Did this a few weeks ago to avoid the cluster between fredericksburg and quantico.
64 out of Richmond to 522 through Unionville to 29 to 15 through point of rocks into Md.

Thanks BikePump, PM replied
I thought about that but the stretch of 64 really killed that idea. Dave, I stopped in at Chuck's place on the way home from the beach a couple of weeks ago to see it. I had taken the engine down to Lufteknic a few weeks earlier to have them install it into the car so the alignment and corner balance could be performed. Finally coming to an end on this whole process. What an experience it's been!

Congrats on getting it back, Mike! PM me if you still want a trailer (closer than Summit Point). But I agree about driving it back, not on I-95.

Thank you to those of you that offered to allow me to use your trailer. To be honest my hope was to just get the names of some companies that rented trailer. It was really generous of you to offer that up.
I think that I'm going to stick with my original plan which is to find a trailer to rent. There's a saying that goes "no good deed goes unpunished" and this situation has that saying written all over it. So from a liability standpoint alone, I think the best thing is to get a rental. That way, if something happens to the trailer, you're not mad at me and if something happens to my car because of your trailer, I'm not mad at you. Thank you again to those that offered, I am genuinely appreciative of the offer.

Mike,
Congrats on getting the car back! Not sure if this is totally nuts, but if you have AAA, I understand they allow up to 4 free tows per year. Any chance you could combine several "freebies" in order to get the car home from Richmond?
