Are you renting or buying?  Reason I ask is that a
U-Haul trailer is not much more expensive than the tow
dolly to rent, and it is 10 times easier & better.  If
you have a full size PU, (or equiv) the trailer is
easy to tow, and the Roadster fits great.  I've done
it both ways though.  If you use a dolly, either tow
with the rear wheels off the ground and the wheel tied
tight (still may be a little squirrly), or drop the
drive shaft and expect all your tranny oil to leak
out, towing with the front wheels up. Better to drain
it first rather than try to plug the hole and still
get a leak.....For the dif in rental price, spring for
the trailer.  IMHO
