I removed the butt plug and inserted a black dildo in its place. It hasn't come off since March, works well as an extra bumper.

You've have that sticking out of your rear all the time for months now? That's horrific!

You need a Ford F-150 or something like that..

It's been on since March as I have to tow my trailer around. The pin is very difficult to get to, so I just leave the hitch piece in there. It works as a bumper guard (was hit once already in NYC). I am not a fan of the foglight anyway, but I will put the buttplug back in when I have LEDs installed on it.

WOW......... WTF. That is a hell no on my part. Uhhhh....you have a sports car, not an effen truck. Are you on something? I have never seen a sports car pull another vehicle. At the end of the day you have to-do what you have to-do, but I wouldn't do it.

lol I was just picturing him pulling something with his Z.. along with that lame truck-like clattering our gearboxes sometimes tend to make shifting from 1st to 2nd. I had to laugh.

If one were to obtain a quality Live Axil like the one offered in the Mustang and rip out the POS IRS that we Z owners suffer with, then maybe towing would be a viable option.

26 posts and noone has mentioned that the OM states that the Z is not to be used to tow anything.

Carry on with the amusement.
