I own a very fuel efficient car (40+ mpg) that handles the long drive to the airport at minimal cost. But my fuel efficient car is not 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?
When I bought my first glider I bought the wife a new car and her old car (Ford Exploder) became my airport car. A spare car is the way to go. When you fly XC and contests no one in the family has to be without a car and you still get to drive your fun car during the week.
