Trailering a Boxster

If you're running a diesel, you'll have to deal with soot, too. And road debris.

I used to have a Chevy Tracker, it was perfect for towing and it could be set up as a convertible. But finding nice ones that aren't beat down is kinda tough.

I thought about flat towing -- the problem with the Boxster is the transmission -- (and not an easy place to mount the base plates) --

I've resolved the base plate (I think), but not the transmission lube issue yet.

In some vehicles you can run the engine and it will splash oil the tranny with fluid (with a manual I assume it would need to be driven). then its ok for a bit, but you have to start it/drive it every so often.

For the boxster -- I'm not sure if that will work, or if you can put a circulation pump in.

I'd like to do this as I have a Super-C and a Cayman S DE car (and an SPB that I trailer, but I'm trying to avoid the trailering as well as have a TOAD for when I just want to RV for a weekend)
