No experience with Syncros, but my Eagle Talon full-time all-wheel-drive has only ever been towed with all 4 off the ground. With AAA you can request the flatbed, as others have suggested. You can also get them to move the sucker with towing dollies under the wheels that would normally be on the ground. Towing dollies are contraptions that slip under the wheels and have 2 wheels each. You can often seen them strapped to the back of tow trucks. I had my Talon towed with dollies; no problems. BTW, the Talon has 95K on it, so no smart remarks about why it needed to be towed more than once. :-P I blew an oil pump once after having the car in Lake Placid during a -40 weather (where the C and F scales meet) with 10W30 in the case. I didn't know any better in those days. -Karl Karl F. Bloss - blosskf@ttown.apci.com or bloss@enter.net Trexlertown, PA '87 Vanagon GL Weekender "Beverley" http://www.enter.net/~bloss/vw/ |
