Default things to check.

everything.

seriously though, first spot I would look is under the bumpers for any chain damage.

Default what could happen if you it's towed on 2 wheels?

Hope it never happens to me, but I live in a college town where the towing is ruthless... doubt they'd bother to check twice if the car can only be towed on a flat bed.

Default i dont know exactly

but i remember reading that the torsion system in the back gets screwed up
at high speeds

why would damage matter...their not liable for damage right?

Default well, consider that all of the wheels move together most of the time

mechanically.
