Low clearance trailer in NOVA area?

I was wondering if anyone in the NoVA area had a trailer that is able to carry a lowered car that could help me move the 7 from burke to rp performance in manassas. I would be happy to pay for gas and buy that person lunch/dinner if they have it available. It has a pretty loud exhaust leak and I dont feel like being harassed by fairfax's finest.
Thanks,
Neal

1) $40 AAA membership = free tow. You can get the FD on a flatbed if you know what you're doing. My FD has less clearance than yours (w/ my front bumper, skirts, and rear diffuser). I've done it many times.

2) You can rent a trailer for DIRT CHEAP from here: https://www.rx7club.com/showpost.php...7&postcount=26 You'll obviously have to provide the truck that's hauling though.

Ive never put the 7 on a trailer so I am not to confident in AAA. I can rent the trailer if someone has a truck.

I drive there on a weekly basis for work. Most of the time I am in a van though. I even speed and really never had a problem.
Ya'lls stickers, wings, etc don't help you keep a low profile.

I can help out if you really need it. If you schedule an appointment w/ AAA when I'm free, I can walk the guy through it lol (I've had my car put on a flatbed maybe 12 times now...I can do it w/ my eyes closed haha)

BTW Neal, did you get my PM?

Actually, the air freshener hanging from your rear view is considered obstructing your view, and thus unsafe. So you'll be issued a moving violation and a court fee - which from what I've heard, has hit the $70 mark!

They don't mess w/ vans much. They like to mess w/ stuff that looks fast. But c'mon Dave...you don't think my car's low profile?
