Don't let the tow driver use the tie rods for anchoring points! (ask me how I know this).

Bob,

I have had to have my car on a flatbed a couple of times and here's what has worked for me...

1. Use the tow eye. (Should be in your tool kit.) Have the driver winch the car up using this attachment. (It was designed for this purpose.)
2. If you look at the under side of the front end you will see an attachment point on each side. It is a pressed steel piece that is attached to the front of the lower A-arms.
3. If you can have it winched up rear first (without damaging your spoiler) you can use the rear tow eye for the rear and safety chains on the front eyes.
4. As Jay mentioned, slap the driver if he goes near the tie rods.

HTH,
Greg
