I posted this elsewhere and didn't get any response. Any ideas on this?

Has anyone tried towing his or her car with a tow dolly? I would think that the nose of the car is too low and it might scrape but I

Well, as much as I hate to admit it, I was forced to tow my first S2K. 60mph meetings with cement walls typically are hard to drive away from.

As long as you don't have an idiot running the tow truck, you shouldn't have any problems. Had to put the dolly on the rear, and the truck picked up the front. He kept it low to the ground in the front (i.e. didn't pull the nose up to prevent the rear from scraping). It worked okay - not a preferrable method to transport, but it works. Since I'd shattered the rear suspension (the shock had gone THROUGH the wheel) there was no way to pull it onto a flatbed without causing more damage...
