Anyone look for a trailer hitch yet?

I'm still debating when to buy a Type-S. I will possibly look for a trailer hitch so I can tow my Prelude to car shows if I decide to go from Maryland to Las Vegas this summer. Anyone look for or buy a hitch for this kinda stuff?

Why would you want to use this car to tow something? You must be crazy. It is just my opinion.

I don't think the tow limit on our CL is high enough to tow another car.

Well I was curious. I have a Prelude that just won't die and if I bought a Type-S I would consider towing the Prelude to the distant car shows and meets instead of taking my chances and driving long distances.

I'm not gonna be towing boats or anything crazy. I'm a pure-bred Acura/Honda fan and would never try to abuse a fine car.

If you want to tow something, get a Chevy Blazer or something. Maybe a year old one. I don't think the CL-S or P was designed for that in mind. Just get an old Blazer/Bronco whatever and use it as a beater.
My old boss did that. He had a new (at that time) Legend Coupe and a 1980's Crown Victoria. This guy made 120k a year and drove this heap around all the time (except the Summer). Its always nice to have a disposable car around. I wish I did. Parts are cheap, and so is the insurance.

No spoiler. No NAV either. No fat chics.
no "phat" chics either.
