Rent a "Tow Dolly" from U-Haul. They will show you how to use it.
Just curious. Which E-Bay piece of junk car did you finally buy, the 300, or the Sebring?

Dependant what you want to tow and what you are towing with.Distance matters.A short tow can be done with Tow Strap and or chain.The driver in the 'towed vehicle must do all the braking.Keep your speed below 25mph.Towing long distance can be done by a 'Tow-Bar'. This can be gotten at a U Haul or any other Rental Service.They will install a temporary hitch to your car and show you how to connect the tow bar to the towed vehicle.Towing long distance with a tow bar is not advised.A distance up to 30 miles at slow speeds will not hurt the vehicle.If towing long distance.A Tow Dolly is advised.This too can be rented.It is like a small trailer that gets hitched to the towing vehicle,the towed vehicle front wheels will be on the tow dolly only and they get secured to the tow dolly.When towing a vehicle with a tow bar or tow dolly.You should get out often and check all connections.The vehicles emergency brake is off and the vehicle is in neutral.(except on Tow Dolly , can be locked and emergency brake off.)The vehicle doing the towing should be at the same weight or greater to tow.Drive carefully and make your turns a little wider to compensate for the wide wheel width of tow dolly.

No one suggested an external transmission cooler. I drove with a 350 chevy engine in my trunk for 300 miles so I couldnt imagine pulling a dolly & another vehicle. Unless you have an 8 cylinder engine that cranks out power & makes a mountain of torque like an Oldsmobile or chevy V8 I wouldnt even try to pull anything. At the least you will boil the transmission fluid & will overheat (engine) climbing hills. If you still insist check you're fluids regularly while driving & check the hitch often.

Yes with a tow strap. For some cars they make tow bars. You can tow it with all four wheels on the ground. The front wheels will steer by themselves. (Need a key in there to disable steering lock, duh!) The problem though is the engine is not turning the transmission, so it may not be driving the transmission pump bad for the transmission. (but i am no transmission expert) Dolly trailers are an option if the car is not two low to the ground. and a full size trailer with a truck is best.

Possible-Yes Safe-Uh No
Suggest using a car hauler or trailer. Also if transported improperly your insurance company will not pay if you are in an accident or the car being hauled comes undone and causes other damages.

Yes...make sure you meet all the local safety requirements for towing a vehicle and that there is no one in the vehicle being towed.
