Im towing a S2000 for a 5 hour drive. Im using a U-haul two wheel tow Dolly. Should the Driveshaft be removed for the trip?

I was planning on removing the first thread after I posted it in this one. But it has just been a few minutes.

This is kind of like saying "I'm about to stick a fork in my hand. Should I use a salad fork or a dinner fork?" What you should really do is tow the car on a real car trailer. Or, if that's not an option (one way trip?), you should have the car driven by someone else. Or transported professionally.

So put it on a Full flatbed trailer. I.E. Car hauler. Honda states in the owners manual, that all wheel need to be offf the ground when towing the car.

DO NOT use a dolly. Car hauler or hire a flatbed to transport it.
