RE: towing with a turbo audi?

[Anton Gaidos III <anton_gaidos_iii@firepower.com>]

 Certainly it cannot be harmful to tow something like a pop-up tent
trailer or the like. In fact I was thinking of something like that
myself. The kids, wife and I were planning on taking in our urQ to
Sequioa National park this June and I can say for certain that I'd never
get all the junk they bring along in the trunk!
 I will probably use my roof racks to carry stuff but the idea of towing
a very small trailer certainly crossed my mind.
