A few years ago I went off a 25 embankment backwards at 70 mph into a grove of oak trees. It was black ice half way to Chicago from Detroit in the dark at 5:30 a.m..
The Excursion was totaled, the trailer cost 8k to repair, and the 2k mile 03 ZO6 was completely untouched! Not to mention my buddy and I were unharmed as well.
If there was a video, and I stopped it showing just before we left the roadway, and asked you, does this guy live or die? 100% of you would say he is a goner!
I always cross strap my cars and in this case, it paid off big.
My question is, where and how do most guys strap their Z's down. When I brought mine home I used the front and rear lower control arms where they attach to the frame. In the rear, with axle straps, this puts a bind on the exhaust, and to a lesser degree, the spare tire carrier. Is there a better, or easier, place to attach the tie downs/axle straps?
