Ok, yeah she's a Z. 
BUT she is still just a car, and a dam nice bike hauler 
. Then again it all depends on what your towing with it I guess. I look at it like this, why do I want to get in the SUV/trailer and get maybe 15mpg, when I can hop in the Z/trailer and get 26 or better, have a lot more fun and still be able to cruise along 85-90mph to do the same thing. And if I want to pop off the trailer when I get to wherever I'm going then I can still play. 
I've actually used that Rocket trailer to go pick up many different bikes from all over past few yearsand had fun doing it. And honestly you don't even know it's back there, except when you look in the rear view mirror and see just a headlight staring at you. And the TailGunner is getting redone to match.
I'm sure many disagree as we can clearly see, but you know when I look at my title and see my name on it. I take that as I can do whatever I want with it. Whether it be keep it in garage and never drive cause I'm afraid it'll get dirty, take it the track and beat the snot out of it or throw a trailer behind it and go buy another toy with it. All in all it's just a vehicle, grant it it's nicer than most but not as nice as some.

OK guys that's my car. My truck needed injectors. I needed the trailer tongue weight to give me traction. I needed the snow blower in case the snow got deep. The rubber thingy under the car is a lousy snow plow. The rest of the stuff is well you can never have enough stuff right?

Hey that's not as bad as the pic of a member hauling a mattress on top of his c5.

Maybe he just likes driving "His" Corvette.
Now I prolly wouldn't do this, but I've done things in mine that alot of other people might not .
Different stokes for different folks!
So "Come on Man!"
V2lude, How did that go for you ?

With my Z I have towed dirt bikes, quads, street bikes, my track tires, the miata's track tires, tool kit, compressor, spare parts, and all my furniture when moving (twice).
Taken the Vette to several ski moutains in Vermont during snowstorms. Car is super balance and with proper tires handles some snow with no problem. I would rather be in my corvette with All seasons then an awd WRX with summer tires.
I go on long trips often with the dirt bikes. Towing the the trailer I manage 21 mpg in the Z. Better then what I get with my old mans truck. After unhooking the trailer at the destination I get to enjoy the back roads with a corvette rather than a pick up.
Sure I would love to have my own truck as a second vehicle. But right now a $125 trailer hitch and a trailer i already owned is easier to manage then the money for a second vehicle and additional insurance.
