Moving A Dead Car - j3rt - 08-09-2007
I need to move a non-running car from Huntsville to North York. It's a brute of a car, Auto RWD, I'd rather not tow it from the back on the front wheels just seems unsafe all that way.
Anyways, just wondering if anyone has access to a truck and trailer or flatbed truck that is free this weekend.
The current going rates are approx $3/km, average estimate has been 220km, looking to spend less than that.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Here's what you do.
#1. Remove the driveshaft on the towed car.
#2. Rent a car dolley that is hitched.
#3. Borrow a truck (rent whatever).

Best deal for a dead car.
