[DML] Re: Towing the DMC

["Dave Swingle" <swingle@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I can almost guarantee that would ruin the transmission. I wouldn't 
flat tow it without removing the axles (takes maybe 20 minutes with 
hand tools, 5 with power tools). Even then I'm not sure how you'd 
securely attach a tow bar to it. Maybe you could use a tow dolly (a 
small trailer that the front or rear wheels sit in, that has its own 
wheels). If you tow the car backwards be sure to tie the louvers 
down.
