Do you mean towing by a flimsy piece of fabric like this?

Not illegal somewhere? It should be. Looks like a death trap to me.

What's your definition of flimsy? Seeing that most tow straps have a rating of about 15,000lbs., I would like to see what you consider strong!

Virginia has the worst drivers on the planet.

My vote would be for the DC metro area drivers which combines drivers from VA/MD/DC. It's a wonder why there aren't a lot more road rage 'round these parts considering how horrible these drivers are.

I can go along with that one. I used to drive to Baltimore daily for work, and going through 95 through Lorton and those places used to give me white knuckles.

What kind of headphones are you using this amp for??

Nothing particularly difficult to drive at the moment (I'm quite new to "high end" audio!), just the Audio Technica ATH-M50 and Superlux HD 668B. At the moment I'm more interested in trying out the DAC section when hooked up to my MacBook Pro. Picking up a set of Hifiman HE-300 once payday arrives though so hopefully the E17 will do them justice, although I will eventually pair that with the E9 desktop amp.

It's a strap, like a rope it is flimsy. Flimsy does not mean that it is not strong. Problem with towing like that is when needing to emergency brake. It should be illegal, and luckily it is in his state.

We were paying over $70/month for landline phone service, so I decided to look into cheaper options and found Vonage. So far it's been great. Lots of features and only $11.99 a month.

You know brakes work without the vehicle running? It takes significantly more pressure by your foot because the motor is no longer creating vacuum to boost...but yeah, the brakes still work. And most people dont tow over like 35-40 mph. It shouldnt be illegal, morons just shouldnt do it.
