Default Good/bad experiences with Tow Vehicle Syndicates?

I own a very fuel efficient car (40+ mpg) that handles the long drive

suitable for towing a glider trailer... especially if I have to tow
the trailer out of a muddy field.

So if I buy a glider, do I need to trade in my very small car for
something like a Subaru Forester?

Do people ever form Tow Vehicle Syndicates? How does that work out?


That's an idea. Or maybe buy a suitable but old vehicle for $2000 or so
and keep it at the airport.
