Hey


I was planning on flat towing my syncro, with the driveshaft and both rear
axles removed.  Am I going to damage my VC even with the driveshaft
removed?  Can't imagine why...


How bad would it be to leave the rear axles in?  Opinions on how much drag
I'll save by having them out?  It might be nice to be able do drive it
around some enroute.  On the other hand the tow vehicle gets crap fuel
mileage, and anything I can do to lessen it's load is probably worthwhile.


FYI-Summer 2007, I'm going from San Diego to Boston area with a 20' box
truck, and will have some room inside.  Anyone need anything shipped?  I'll
take the most obvious route, and could drop off along the way.  I'll post
again closer to my departure.


Raymond
