yes..a very short tow..    depending on the height/size of your tow vehicle,
airflow to the vehicle being towed could be restricted..causing it to possibly
overheat..also youd never know if the vehicle being towed had any other
mechanical malfunctions or ran out of gas, etc..  probably not a good idea to do on
a vehicle you just bought, with unknown engine history.. if its not in good
enough shape to drive it in the first place, its probably not a good idea to
leave the engine running, unmonitored..
but a short tow with a well maintained vehicle that has a good cooling system
should be ok.
