Back it on the trailer...
Towing it with the grill facing forward exposes a lot more glass (all the lamps and the windshield), as well as the fins on the radiator, to whatever debris gets kicked up... There's a reason those accessory 'Stone Guards' have been around for a while...
Stop frequently and check the hitch, all your tires, your rachets and the tie-downs. Make the first check within the first ten miles... (It's always real hard to stop once you've gotten rolling, but...)
Get ready to wave a lot at the little kids in the cars that pass you, and enjoy all the thumbs up you are getting!!!!
I trailered my Cabriolet ~600 miles out of the mountains of Virginia, and while it's not quite as much fun as driving it will be, we had a blast... ( My Avatar shows it about to go on the trailer, the WRONG way... Lesson learned...)
