Never being one to follow instructions very well, or
at least without some resistance.(I guess it is an
Airforce leftover.).....Why? I towed my Sprite from
Portales to Amarillo with the drive shaft in and the
wheels on the ground on a U-haul auto hauler. Is that
why I had a puddle of oil on the driveway bigger than
usual? Or maybe that is why my throw out bearing
squeaks? It's just that, from list members I hear,
that reinstalling the drive shaft can be a real bear.

In that same vein, the only problem with the U-haul
was the narrowness that required us to pick up the
front end of the car to re align it to the trailer
after loading. 

thanks, bill b. '69 Sprite
