    At least one of our members has seen a VX being used as a dinghy. It popped up in a thread a couple of months ago.

    From what I understand is if you tow a long distance the transmission can overheat as the trans fluid in there is not being pumped around by the engine. I guess if there is a way to tow with rear axle up you could do it.

    No Tow

    I haven't toweed the VX but have had the horrible experience of towing a miata on a two wheeler with the gear stick in first and wondering why I couldn't get up to 50 on the freeway.
    I would assume the trans oil would boil in a VX just like it did in the Miata, real smelly and lotsa smoke, Oh did I mention expensive too.
    Go ahead tow it but keep looking over yer shoulder for the tell tale clouds of smoke!!
    Never pack a gob****e there's always one waiting for you when you get there.
