Re: [DML] need towing advice

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Never pull drive wheels connected to an automatic transmission on the
ground (remove the drive shaft(s) first). You *WILL* destroy the
clutch discs otherwise. Manual transmissions are no problem.

Be careful towing a DeLorean backwards on anything -- wind can rip the
louvers off.

Do not dolly a car backwards -- puts too much faith in the steering
wheel lock.

Whatever you tow, be sure to criss cross the safety chains UNDER the
tongue.

Some people love tow dollys, and some people hate them. I've used them
for years no problem. Weigh next to nothing and exert very little
tongue weight. Are less prone to wiggle at highway speeds.
