Hmmm then I'm not sure as to why he would sue or punch the guy who is helping him get his car off the side of the road ?

Excerpt:

Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI)

During PDI, remove the spring spacers (Fig. 7) from the front suspension and place them in the glove box for the customer. If the car is to be on a trailer for any reason, the spacers need to be placed back in the front springs to obtain ground clearance.

TIP: Initially, the Camaro front spring spacers will be black. In April, they will be made yellow for easier visibility.

Personally it's just a car and doesn't mean much to me... Hell I may not even pick it up

Thanks... I had totally missed this. Definitely a jack and tire removal required for this... wonder how many inches it raises the front?

..or if they won't be requred for low profile trailer ramps... How does the Vette compare. The trailer I had at Fest II loaded Vettes just fine...

I don't know you'd need to remove the wheel...if it was jacked up, the wheel would drop down, relatively speaking, and you could slip your hand in there with the spacer...maybe?

You could turn it full left or right to help with the access as well!

Towed

Dont say it cant happen. Last year at Pigion Forge show, the people at a buisness did not have a no parking sign out when the guy parked there. But we watched as the car got towed; then the owner came out and put up the no parking sign.
