I would call driving the car "necessary wear" on the parts of the car. Dollying the car will cause *unnecessary wear* (at least to the wheel bearings) because there would be NO wear if you weren't such a cheapass and just got the full trailer. I agree that the wear would be negligible over short or sporadic traveling. For the people towing or dollying a car behind their camper, however, a car can get 10's of thousand of miles on the bearings/differential that doesn't show on the odometer. :P Jim On Wed, 19 May 2004 17:54:09 +0100 Martin Gutkowski <martin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> writes: > Unnecessary, like when you drive it?!
