[Roadsters] Tow Strap Advice

[ljordan704 at netscape.net]

 I remember years ago when I was towed several times with a rope in a couple
of cars. What a nerve-wracking event that was. Thank God for AAA.

Make sure whomever you have in the car pulling or being pulled and you have
established an EASY form of communicating.  This is after having checked the
brakes on the Roadster.  Cell phones use may be a good thing to use and even
the "dumb" little things may be important.

Don't forget, it's easy to presume that the person who is pulling you in the
roadster, knows to tell you that they've let off the gas and are now
coasting... until you find yourself slamming on the brakes and they accelerate
in response to the tug they feel in back....  it quickly becomes a yo-yo.
Done that, been there, don't want to do it again.  Thankfully, in my case it
was in the yard and all it cost me was a pair of ruts in the lawn.
