The ring and pinion gear sets for our funny car have a warning enclosed in each set to Never transport car in gear. I admit they are not the average street used materials but I think the same reasoning would apply.

As a foot note to being able to attach the front tie downs in a enclosed trailer because of limited space. I have tied down using a crossed pattern on the front with D-rings by using a much longer strap. Get it all ready (hooked to front of the car) and pass other strap end through the D-ring with tail going under the car and to the rear where it hooks to an anchor Ring behind the car. Hook up as needed on the front while you have room out of trailer and pull the slack out after car goes forward. You need a 20 + foot strap but it works pretty slick. PS.... put a little duct tape around the front strap hook so it does not jiggle loose when moving car forward - learned the hard way!!!
