You probably lost your time window to clean off the overspray with solvent.

[pointA2B]

I like those rims.

[eurotiva]

strap thru the window? You know it has tow hooks front and rear?

[KJ4YXY]

All we did was put it is first and that...
E doesn't work

I like those rims.

Thanks

Do me a favor if you are ever in my area and don't tow anything... I don't want to get wrecked by your car or towing rig. Next time consider distributing the load better, the car does not need to be pulled forward so far that almost all the weight is situated in front of the axles toward the tongue. If you must put it all the way to the front just because you feel like it, at least back it on, so that the weight of engine and trans sit above the axles rather than all the way at the tongue. And secure the vehicle to the trailer next time too, especially if the E-brake isn't functional. Thanks!

haaa...you noticed that it moved all the way forward during its trip too?

[htchbck]

Actually I don't think it moved, I think thats just how it was loaded. Given the location of the strap it couldn't have been much further back to start with. Either way, dangerous

[M3NTAL]

actually guys i think your right it might have moved, and i was thinking the same thing Greg why not use the tow hooks? Kentucky is holding it down haha

it didn't move much but look at it in the first pic and then the second to last....bumper looks to be touching to me....but it might be the angle. No matter what...:eeeeeek:

No matter what...:eeeeeek:

My point exactly! :eeeeeek:

[DriverOne]

If for any reason the car moves, you'll crush your doors in. Two straps. They're less than $10 at Walmart/Harbor Freight/Northern Tool...

[RhodeStiva]

at least strap the tires they have those tire straps .

[htchbck]

^^ The web-like tire straps are a great way to go then you can have the car totally secured in place but also allow it to flex on its own suspension. However, unless you have either a whole lot of D-rings or some very purposely placed D-rings set up for a festiva, its hard to use those properly on a flatbed trailer. They are awesome though, especially if you are only ever going to be hauling one kind of vehicle on the trailer, like a race car hauler or something.
