ramps are kinda short which makes the angle severe; something underneath would hit the trailer when it was about half way up. Some longer boards would have probably done it, but I didn't have any at the house, and rather than screwing around just decided to drive it.

Made it back today in one piece, car ran perfect. Never broke 190 degrees even in traffic, and averaged just over 21 mpg total (16 mpg uphill to Reno and 26 on the way back). I think it will exceed 21 mpg on a flat run.

There is something going on in the rear end; sounds like a diff issue, clunking and bad noises on tight turns. I just had new gears installed in June as well as a complete re-do of the true trac diff. I'm going to take a look at it later, but it didn't quit on me and made no noise cruising down the road.

Did you put the diff additive in the rear end? That stuff does wonders, It may sound like the diff is going to fall out of the car and you put 1-2 little tiny bottles in it and the noise is gone in like 10ft.
