[F500] Tire Straps - From Who?

Chico made a good observation to me on this subject.  We all keep the cars 
on stands when in the garage and not in use so as to not damage the 
tires.  He recommends not towing the car sitting on it's tires either, but 
rather jack it up on the trailer and slip something underneath it - like 
maybe a couple blocks of wood.  The reason is that the car bouncing around 
in the trailer is working (and wearing out) the suspension pucks.  Sounds 
like a good idea to me.

I use ratcheting straps with hooks and attach them to the a-arms up front 
and the frame in back and then to eyebolts or d-rings as needed
