Know anybody in the VW business near you? If so, see if they have a VW towbar you can rent or borrow. It mounts to the lower torsion bar tube on the VW front end, and requires a 1-7/8" ball. They sell for $100 new, but used ones go for half that. I pulled a VW from Seattle to Billings behind a '88 T-bird, and I could hardly tell it was back there, even when an 18-wheeler ran me into the median at ~70mph.
