trailer prices are dirt cheap right now. email quote from a friend from 3 weeks ago:
"My hunting has revealed that south Georgia is
severely depressed due to the economy right now,
and the trailer factories down there are slashing
each other's throats trying to make a sale. Believe
it or not, a brand new 24' basic enclosed car
trailer can be purchased for under $4000 from more
than one company. The only gotcha is that you need
to pick it up in Georgia, because shipping up here
will add $1500 to the cost. I can't even find a
used trailer for that price! Anyway, my thought
was that since I don't have garage space to build
a race car without somebody else moving things
around whenever I turn my back, one of these trailers
would be cheaper than building a second garage,
doesn't require building permits and zoning variances,
and best of all can be towed to events without having
to load/unload my gear and tools every weekend. I
wish that I had thought about it 5 years ago!
Of course, the gotcha is that I don't know if I
can get a decent-sized trailer out of our side
yard and onto the street, since there's a utility
pole and bedrock outcropping both blocking the
way that I'd need to swing the trailer to get it
back out. This is one of the reasons why I wanted
to rent an open U-Haul car carrier for 7/24, so that
I can see if I can figure out what size enclosed
trailer will fit in that spot....."
