My car was towed after the accident with the rears on the ground and fronts in the air. The car was in neutral and the e-brake was not engaged. I belive the car was driven about 10 miles. Should I be worried about the differential? I can't seem to understand how it can get screwed if the car's not in gear.

If tranny is not engaged, then there should be no problem.

Not sure, but be wary though......

Owners manual recommends the ONLY way to tow the S2000 is on the back of a flatbed truck.

I would have refused that truck and demanded a different tow truck (a flatbed), but that's just me.

Just a heads up.

I read the owners manual that's why I was worried. At the time I did not have a choice. Was still in a shock after the accident, the car was in a ditch all screwed up, it was raining real heavy and the cops were waiting for my car to be towed so they could open the road (ramp) back to traffic.

From what I figured, the basic reason is cause the car's low so if they are not careful in lifting the car just enough, the rear bumper could scrap the ground. The other reason has to do with the car being RWD. In case the towing guys forget this and don't put it in neutral, a lot can get screwed including the differential.

Bummer about the accident. Good to see you came out of it ok though.

At 10 miles there should be no worry about the rear. I would be more worried about the rest of the car.
