No miles accumulation on mechanical speedos, and no wear on the tranny and rear axles that way.. The front bearings do take a bit of abuse. They are running backwards for the entire tow distance, but are cheaper than CV joints, transmission parts, etc.

Too low

The boxster sets too low for a tow dolly, Its the ramps that will hit the car.
U-Haul recommends you put it on a trailer.....I wanted to do the same thing
becaue i going to DALLAS tomorrow.....Boxster in tow on a trailer..

That is good info to have. Thanks for the help, I will forget about towing it for now, and just drive it. I can leave the motorhome home, and sleep in the dirt.
