I bought a fiero in Edmonton and was thinking of getting it here on a dolly with the back wheels on the ground. One friend says it`s ok the other says not to. The book says to get a gm dealer or pro tow truck driver. It is a 85 se manual tranny Will I fry something if I go get it with a dolly and put the front wheels on the dolly and run the back wheels on the ground? Thanks in advance for any help. Dave B

Best bet is to leave the front on the ground and dolly the rear. You can tow it as long as you need to like that. With a standard you can tow with the rear tires on the ground, but its just easier to tow with the front on the ground.

Yep the front lip of the air-dam can hit with even jacking up the car from the back let alone bouncing down the road.
