[DML] Re: DMC towing

["sandorp1" <piszar@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Gleb,


I strongly urge you to rent a flatbed trailer from UHAUL versus their 
two-wheeled "car transporter".  Yes it will cost a little more.  
However, you are running a very high risk of damaging your car using 
the two wheeled cart.  And if you have never towed before, don't 
worry about a flatbed.  If you take it nice and slow you will do fine.

I have heard that towing a D backwards will danage the louvers, and 
that makes perfect sense.  The wind will grab it and tear it off.  
Even if you take the louvers off before towing, you run the risk of 
messing up your front suspension and bodywork.

I can't stress enough how much you should not do this.
