Recall Roger (OH) Johnson's trailer with the place for the Corvette
in the back, a spot for the Shepherd in the front.  But it takes a
5th wheel setup to haul one.  Byron Short is this week picking up 
a version of that style unit.

I have seen trailers of that sort that were of the standard hitch
variety, but can't imagine they'd be practical for a vehicle as big
as an M3!  South of Detroit there is an RV dealership that displays
several, including class A Motorhome setups for car-in-the-back
traveling.  Bring your wallet.

For someone with a smallish open wheel car, there is the option
of self-customizing, of course.  Years ago a Toledo FV racer started
with a travel trailer, cut/hinged the back, and created a combo that
would allow the car to ride below the cabinets.  When the V was
out, it made a passable travel trailer setup.
