Not a good idea. If the car isn't straight, one of the straps will have slack. To unload the car, you're going to have to move the car forward to get slack in the straps. You're just making more work for yourself. Since I load the car with the parking brake on, I just pop my straps loose all around and I'm ready to back the car off. If you're trying to get the car in the same spot on the trailer each time, rather than use straps of a defined length, put something on the trailer that you pull up to and against with the front tire. See the picture above for someone who did just that. I didn't even go that far. I marked a spot on my trailer and I put something on it that I pull up against. Then I toss it back in my trailer box.
