Re: Strapping the e36 down to a trailer

[Jim Ochi <jochi@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

One reason is that Jason's way will compress the car's suspension, which
keeps all that sprung weight from swaying around while you're towing.  This
may make the trailer tow better, without any wandering, fishtailing, etc.

Hope this helps,
