How can you tow a car with a boattail ?

My car recently broke down again ( electrical - no spark ) and I nearly broke down on the side of the road. I pushed the car back to my apts, since lucky for me i had just exited the driveway.

So I started wondering how i would have had the car towed had i installed a boat-tail. Since the fulcrum is farther forward on a boat-tailed car, would this present any problems ?

I tend to worry about too many things, but I guess it's also good to plan things ahead, right ?

As long as the underside angle is steep like that of the AeroCivic, I think we would be good to go, but anything less and it seems like the whole assembly could just tear off.

It also makes me wonder how that low riders get towed. How do they manage ?
