When towing a front wheel drive car like your 2008 Honda Accord on a tow dolly like the RoadMaster Tow Dolly # RM-2050-1, you want to put the car in park and be sure to have the emergency brake OFF.

I’m towing my 2002 Honda Civic from San Diego to Kansas 1,567 miles with a tow dolly will that damage anything in the rear if it’s in park but without the ebrake

I wasn't able to find too many specifics with regards to towing your 2002 Honda Civic on a tow dolly. Hopefully there is a towing section in your copy of the owner's manual that outlines the correct procedure for towing in this manner (what to do with the ebrake, etc). I don't think you'll have any issues but I would definitely check to be sure.

I have a 2018 VW Beetle, automatic, front wheel drive. PUSH START, NO KEY. When towing on a dolly (Kar Kaddy 3) the wheels on the dolly turn, which in turn causes the steering wheel to lock. Unable to start car with steering wheel locked. Unable to use a key. Question. Can I leave vehicle in neutral? From wheels all secure, and chain supported.
