This car is AWD, full drivetrain and at my apartment with a lack of any tools aside from a tool box. A full trailer would be best at this point. Thanks for the offers, hopefully I can line something up on Sunday and have it done Sunday night or Monday night.

Matt you don't need that many tools to do it. And besides it wont hurt the car. Take up 1Quick4's offer. It will be alot easyer then trying to find a trailer in this amount of time now.

All you need is a 14mm wrench (2) and to jack up the rear, well thats on a 1g. I can't remember on the 2g, think its the same.
Brian's offer would be your best bet, as we are 1-2 weeks backed up.

Make that two 12mm wrenches. It takes 5 minutes to drop the drive shaft. I took my car down the track on a car dolly this weekend. It is a piece of cake.

It seems that getting the dolly from Brian is going to be the best bet, so will just need a truck, a come-along to get the car up onto the dolly and maybe a jack to get the driveshaft off if I can't get under there once it's on the dolly.

Thanks again guys... Hopefully we can get this figured out and going Monday night so I don't have to pay a towing company to move it for me.

I think it is a 12 also. It was on my 2g at least.

Jim talked me into just pushing the car into the underground garage, so anyone who is available after 5pm to help push is welcome to show up. :) It's flat ground so won't be much work, just 15 minutes of your time. There's a case of Honey Weiss in the fridge as well. I know Brandon said he didn't have anything going on, so we should only need one or two more.

So you don't need a tow or a parking spot?
LMK if anything changes.
