Anyone added a towing package?
While not interested in, or suggesting, the SLK be used as a towing vehicle, there are some nifty options that are built to attach to a tow tongue. You have probably seen the bike carriers and such. A new one that just came out is a golf club carrier that can carry two sets of golf clubs. Just to squeeze one set into the SLK trunk with the top up requires a smaller sized golf bag. This option would be great for carrying two sets of clubs even with the top down. Question though - has anyone added a towing package to their SLK and if not is there any reason one couldn't or shouldn't?

I once seriously thought about hanging a rack off the back of my Ultima GTR, thinking that I could roast a turkey with the heat from the exhaust on the way to Las Vegas from L.A.; but I couldn't find anything to mount it to....
