Towing a rear-wheel drive vehicle
I have a car dolly, but I also have a rear-wheel drive vehicle. The two options that I can think of are to remove the driveshaft or tow it backwards. I'm leaning towards towing it backwards to save ...

Towing backward without a steering lock strap is going to surprise me. I tow backwards, have done so on surface streets and freeways for about 5,000 miles so far. I do not leave key in ignition, run seperate magnetic lights, plus dolly lights. Watching on cam I do not see fishtailing, swaying and tires show no signs of unexpected wear. When do I expect and what should I expect??
I'm assuming that you tow backwards with the steering locked but no strap? When I mentioned a person could get a surprise quickly is when you tow the vehicle with the rear on the dolly and the steering completely unlocked. I forgot that I had left the keys in the ignition once when towing a 280zx on a dolly. The phrase "mind of its own" is about appropriate.
