I believe he said four speed meaning manual transmission, that should tow just fine .
The rest of the replies are interesting, I too remember many curb stone as a jack repairs on long cross country jaunts .
I keep large plastic trash bags in the trunk, they make dandy 'creepers' and are easy to slide in and out on plus easy to fold up so the dirty part stays in the middle instead of wiping all over things in the trunk....
