can you tow a third gen?

I see the flames coming from a mile away.

I need to get my car to a shop thats a solid 45 minute drive on the highway. If i have to flatbed my car its going to cost a small fortune. Car is not running so i cant get it up on a tow dolly regardless.

The car is lowered idiot owners i think two guys before me cut the factory springs. The front gfx arent on the car though so that gives some extra clearance.

Theres no way i can get my car pulled by a normal tow truck is there?

I doubt there would be any possable way, especially if it's lowered. I think you can get a u-haul trailer that gets all 4 off the ground. Maybe an option.

Flatbed wreckers don't charge anymore around here than regular tow truck wreckers - it's the tow that costs, not the different types of trucks. Here, a 45 mile tow would be $90 if you know someone, $120 if you don't. It can be towed - if you can get under the front to lift it (which shouldn't be a problem with modern day tow trucks) - but you have to disconnect drive shaft from rear end and tie it up in the tunnel.

Don't have to remove the driveshaft if they use good old fashioned dolly wheels.

Flat bed can do it for you. They have a bunch of differents ramps and planks. If you know someone with CAA, buy him a 24 and get her towed!
