Towing with car dolly, acceptable?
Looking to buy a car this weekend, I wil be towing it back home around 450 miles.
Poll question: Do you guys think a tow dolly, Rx8 rear tires on the ground and transmission in neutral, for around 450 miles will be fine?
Tow car: 2006 Explorer 4.0L V6 4wd with 5,000lb tow capacity
Towing: 2005 Rx8 Manual transmission on stock suspension.
Comments/Discussion welcome
EDIT: Loki's statement in post 2 confirmed, going with a auto transport trailer.

Okay so I have decided against a tow dolly. I verified that Loki's statement was in fact correct, and I am not going to go through the effort of disconnecting and removing the driveshaft on the car with minimal hand tools and hope that I am successful in doing so, because should I be unsuccessful then I would be SOL to get the vehicle back home. I hate being the one to ask really dumb questions, but hopefully this will be a helpful thread in the future for others.
Going to rent a auto transport trailer from U-Haul.
