        If you do that, you may as well just signup for Triple A and add the flat bed on for like $25.

        Gets you like 100 Free towing miles + flat bed access... had to do that a couple weeks ago

          well the west driveway at your apartment might have enough of a dip to get your car on a dovetail. That's where I unloaded my Mustang when I brought it home (but it was damn close).

          Obviously have to find something similar to get it off again.

          And by that time it'd probably just be easier to have a truck move it.

              Yeah if Colin's doesnt work, just get a rollback.

              At first I did it for fun, then I realized I made the investment and had to do it!

                I have put my car in enclosed trailers and dolleys, and it is probably lower than yours, if you are careful, you should have no problems. I have done it before without running the car, just jack the front end up and back the dolley underneath it.

                  A tilt trailer can be a tricky loading an F-body that hasn't been lowered. The tailpipes scraped on the ground when loading my brother's Camaro this spring on my 18' tilt. My Mustang fits just fine on there though. I'd try Colin's trailer first and if that doesn't work go with the rollback. I am amazed at how cheap it is to get a tow up there. Down in the cities you are looking at $150 for a tow. The shop that tows our trucks when they die is the cheapest in town, I wanna say $50 less than anyone else.

                    my trailer has a 2 foot dovetail on the end, and with the winch we can go really slowly and use wood 2 x 8's to make sure nothing scrapes. I have had to do much worse and never fucked anything up yet.

                        I close on the 24th, and would need to have it moved by the end of the month. It is lowered, but I can move it up as well.

                        Collin, I'll let you know well in advance if I need your trailer. Thanks for offering. I will make it worth it if I need your trailer.
