Please be aware that if you do not lift the front wheels, your angle drive (which is what the speedo is connected to as well as the odometer) and tow the car in a forward direction it will put miles on your car. If you note in the message below, he towed it backwards (if you have seen Ferris Bueller's day off) running a car backwards does not remove miles, nor does it seem to add them - although I have been known to be wrong. U-Haul offers at least 2 types of trailers. One where you can put the entire vehicle on it (I rented one a couple of weeks ago while my D was unlicensed) and it ran me about $65/day incl tax and that protection thingy. They do offer another which only lifts your front wheels. Which could save the false milage on the car. No I dont work for u-haul, but everytime I have towed a vehicle (my D and my 57 T-Bird) i have had it completely off the ground. Pulled mine with a 2001 Grand Cherokee no problem --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "David Sontos" <dsontos@xxxx> wrote: > > I towed my automatic DeLorean from North Carolina up to Virginia with a tow > dolly, backwards.
