I assumed they would put some sort of dolly under the rear, but they obviously just backed up, hooked up the winch and dragged it.

I wasn't convinced that car was a long termer for me. Was worth about $5k back then, $3.5k to fix it, best offer I got with it broken was $3k.Parted it for almost $7kFG is behaving itself nicely. Just drove it to the coast over the mountains. New rear end feels great. And just put DBA extreme performance pads at all four corners and they seem excellent. Definitely dustier than the street performance though.
