Dont forget to lower down the trailer's fender on the drivers side so you can open your door to get out. If you dont you will forget it is there and whack your door into it. Ask me how I know Also, you might need to remove the front air dam to get the nose of the car to clear. I cant think of any more gotcha's. Your car is in less danger on that trailer than it is driving down the road, concerning debris you will encounter, so feel good about that.

Thanks for the info, I keep picking up tips no matter how many replies. You say lower down the driver side fender on the trailer for the door to clear, I'll look for that feature if not just removing bolts. Thanks-

I used the same type of U-haul trailer as USAFPILOT to tow my ZR-1 from Laguna Beach, CA to Fresno, CA back in April '09 when I first bought it and that included crossing a mountain range. Worked out great, had no problems at all.

Of the last 4 times I rented a trailer from U-Haul, 2 of them broke down on the highway. A lot to be said about a close inspection before taking any rental off the lot.

That said, I pulled Dom's crashed ZR-1 on one of their car trailers, and it was a very good experience, far as trailers go. I was impressed with the entire rig. It was well thought out piece of engineering.

The U-Haul car haulers are very sound. You always need to check the tires before using, for sure. I had a flat on one once. They came and replaced the wheel/tire within 1.5 hrs.

Dom's old car will be loaded up on another U-Haul in a couple of weeks for the trip to it's new home.
