Besides, everytime I use a "Dolly" to tow a rear wheel drive car, I usually disconnect the driveshaft.
The Crossfire would tow just fine on a dolly, it's a pretty light car. The owners manual tells you a lot of things not to do, that you can still get away with, with no problem. Chrysler is just looking out for their own "butts" some of the time. For instance, if you towed an automatic on a dolly, and just put the car in neautral, it would damage the tranny, but a manual would be fine. That's why I drop the drive shaft.
I'm with Jim (AMX1397) on this one.
OK, That's fine, I have an autostick (that's an automatic), and I do not want to fool with parts that are under warranty in the field. I also don't like the forces that the dolly puts on the car, unless they are the center swivel type, and most are not. they can put a nasty side force on the suspension.

I will stick with renting a flatbed. I could probably rent it for a day to drive out there, return it there, drive around, and then rent it a day to drive back if I was really into saving money, but that might be a bother at the Dragon, besides if anyone broke down I could rescue them.
