That is great news! I wish I was out enjoying my t/c. Mine's been resting in the shop all winter. Next weekend we're taking a trip down to Omaha, just for the weekend. Mother in law is coming to...

Okay Gene, how did it go? How do you strap the car in? Any pictures for us? Did it stay put? I'm dying to know.

That tow411.net is a cool site. I found this thread there with some pictures of the Smart being towed. Wheel straps, the way I said. One has some chains wrapped up around something but only...

That's a cool idea too. I don't think you even need to do any welding. You could buy some of those wheel caster things that they sell at Harbor Freight or Northern. Take the casters off, cut the...

I understand you don't want it to come loose Geof. I just don't understand where you think Gene should attach those chains. I don't think it would work to wrap a chain around the tire.

Hay...

The first picture of the green Smart shows the attachments I was referring to for the e-track. They are those short straps that he hooks his ratchet straps into. Can't tell how he hooked the front...

So Geof. The rear has a solid axle on the Smart. But, I'll bet if you wrap a chain around it and reef it down you're going to bend it and void the warranty. The front is independent suspension. I...

Good question about side to side. I think it would take a awful huge swerve or slam to get the thing to go sideways there. I like the diamond plate wheel chocks either bolted down solid to the...

So the e-track is directly under each tire? That's another way to strap it down. Run the strap up over each tire as if wrapping it around the circumference of the tire. But you've got to make sure...
