possibly a small covered trailer for my DJ gear. I was having a conversation in the lounge about what triales would be good and whatnot and i was thinking that i would have my friend tow it with his malibu maxx but i'm now wondering if the bonnie would be better. i haven't looked into towing with it before. this would only be maybe once a month or so that i would have to pull it arround.

I do not know how heavy your equipment would weigh in but it doesn’t take much to get up there, especially when you add the weight of the trailer. Just something to look into or consider.
Just for comparison: Friend of mine used to tow his Jet Ski with his Cavalier. It weighed in around 1200lbs with the trailer and the car was rated for towing 1000lbs. He blew through 3 sets of CV joints in no time at all. Now I realize a Bonneville is a little larger than a Cavalier so it may survive better, but cars in general aren’t the ideal towing rigs.
Might ask Willwren. I think he told me he tows with his Bonneville occasionally.
