Let's say you're having a gathering of 928's in the boonies, and have arranged to have flatbed service on call for any unfortunate owner of these reliable yet complex supercars. Few of the cars will have a functioning tow eye, of course. E.g., mine. You start to wonder if something could be fabricated to carry in the flatbed as a substitute.

Or, failing that, provide a documented procedure with twenty seven eight-by-ten color glossy pictures with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one....

I - worry-wort engineer - am pondering this very problem this morning! Suggestions? A detailed drawing for my local welding shop?

Flatbed should have some "auxiliary" ramps (i.e. boards) to reduce the approach angle of the flatbed to avoid conflict with front spoilers.

Put a threaded boss in the top "grill slot" for a tow hook to thread into like the 944 turbo.
It's part of the front bumper support bar.

Both front and rear are non functional?

Probably a cleaner tap would be good to have on hand, and an extra tow hook.

I believe this a heavily traveled trail of woe - the image above hints at the difficulties just getting the plug out. I meant to try to get mine out when I had the bumper off, but forgot. Let's see ... nope, not budging. It's gonna need a root canal.

What Brian wrote and pull it on the flatbed a$$ first.

If that's not possible, one tow hook through the eye of each lower A-arm guard with special attention for 90+ to avoid any pressure on the oil cooler.
