+1 to EDS01SS, notice there's only one guy saying 'drive it'. As for being 'like chicken little', I'd rather be careful than risk ******* up more ****. Most of us don't have a lot of cash laying around... ****, I'm on no budget for my car right now, and I'm still being a cheapskate. That's just the better way to do it IMHO.

THe uhaul thing would be your best bet since u want to move it as cheap as possible...i think its only like $20 a day to use that tow thing, just move it slowly through the gravel and make sure you have clearance, if not then drive it for those last 2 miles LOL

Why risk turning a $200 tow or $20 dolly rental into a 2k-3k new motor problem. Tow it! And don't listen to the ONE guy who is telling you to drive it, listen to the majority

Do not listen to this assclown he has no clue ... notice that he is the onely one saying drive it...he has no horse in the race so to speak..he's gambling with your money...
...it is pretty EZ to figure out...$20-$200 for what ever way you tow it...or drive it and drop a valve and your out a couple of grand or more depending on the internal damage...good luck to ya ...

Its not that Im cheap, just broke. If I wasnt broke, it wouldn't be sitting all winter waiting to be fixed in the first place.
My real main concern is that im 4hrs away and so its going to be my dad, or my grandpa, or my uncle thats going to do the moveing. Out of those my Dad is the most knowlegdeable on my car and how low it is and everything but the only problem is that we just started corn harvest so idk if he would be able to find time to do it. On that note, tow rope is out. I dont trust them towing it like that. The Uhaul car dolly is where Im leaning. Ill call THE Uhaul place tomorrow and see if they have one. It is pretty low so I hope the bumper/exhaust doesnt rub.
Any tips on towing it with the car dolly to be easy on the rear end and transmission?
