Rear spoilers might rip off backwards. Windshields might pop out if the windows are left open.

I've used Montway several times for cross-country shipping and they seem to use good drivers.
For weight it's def going to be towed facing front (no drivetrain means most weight will be up front)

My two options are:
1.) Tow facing front then unload closer to home, turn it around and back into my narrow driveway to have the car facing inward to the garage.

2.) Tow facing front and unload to get it put on a flatbed closer to home.

Luckily my buddy and I are pretty big guys and pushing the porshce is pretty easy. Especially w no drivetrain. Hard part in my case is the fact that I live on an inclined street.
