This is exactly what I was talking about.  No tow truck involved.

IMHO if the tie downs/tow hooks are not to be used AT ALL, the dealers
should remove them as part of the pre-delivery inspection, making it
unnecessary to even mention them in the owner's manual.

I'd be interested in hearing about the number and location of tow hooks
on Euro-spec Miatas, and what the manual says about them.
Hey Piet in Ghent, are you listening?
