Default Car Dolly

So im about to tow my car like 200miles and i was looking at uhaul and when u goto make a reservation they only give you the option to use a full trailier when i select a 98 eclipse...when i select an 01 eclipse it gives the option to use the car dolly which is like 1/2 of the cost... i kno that there differant gens..

so basically is there a problem putting a 2gen eclipse on a car dolly???

yes if you plan on keeping your front and rear bumpers... and you can especially forget about it if your car is lowered.

Def. go for the whole car dolly-no sense in bashing up your bumpers on puttin miles on your tires. What rims do you have on your car btw they look like mine and I cant find new centercaps for them anywhere.

and i dont give a shit about my rear bumper.. im gettin a new one since some asshole hit me.... if i take it off will it still cause a problem... since its like $218 for a dolly and like $550 for a trailer... and i haerd its easier to tow a dolly then a full size trailer

It is easier to tow a dolly but IMO the whole trailer is worth it.

nah im using my own truck... i decided that im gunna rent a full trailer to get me to sanford where the amtrac station is... then im goin to take that to va... and rent a full trailer from va to ny.... its gunna cost about 650$ which isnt terrible...

id get it shipped but i have alot of stuff since im leaving my college and on amtrack not only can i take my bike but i can have my car packed out and a bunch of suitcases....

its gunna be a bitch but it seems like the best way to go about it...
