Backing it onto a tow dolly
I know it's not supposed to be towed rear wheels down. I towed my non-turbo and turbo Porsche 944s backwards with no problems. I cinched the steering wheel down to the sub strap successfully. The FRS manual says the steering-wheel lock isn't strong enough to hold it, so I would strap it down again. You worry about the snout scraping, but I'm not sure it's any lower than the Porsches were and I didn't drag them. There's a trailer in my future, but not yet.

Basically towing the car like how a tow truck does it, two rear wheels off the ground. -alex |

A tow truck would not tow the car with the steering wheels on the ground though.
