I did something stupid

[Jarlaxle]

Better yet, rent a uhaul truck and put it in the back

I looked into it. Over $5000 for just the truck.

 

[Jarlaxle]

A couple hours to swap it , it’s the 5 day drive back haha

And the time to get there on a bus or train.

 

[toolmanmike]

I have nothing to tow it with.

Ya, you're kind of between a rock and a hard place as they say. I would rent something.

So looks like options are, insure the car, see if we can get a group of trusted FABO members to basically pass it off from person to person, which can be done and has been done.

Or

you hop a greyhound bus, ride out, do a quick ball joint swap and swap to 2.76 gears, drive the thing back home

or

Suck up the 5k and rent something or pay some one to go get it...

or

You lose the car and all the money with it.


Them be your options bud. All of them suck to some extent, but that’s the reality of the situation. Not much else we can do to help you until you decide which route you wanna go

 

[diymirage]

isnt there anyone in your family, a nephew or something, who has time and a drivers license?
fly them out there and let em drive it back home

I have a hauler booked. If this guy flakes...at this point, I'm inclined to write the car and money off as a lesson.

Nobody who.mighy be willing has the time.

If you are trying to schedule around a shipper-good luck. Can the guy you bought it from hang on to it?

Yes, but not much longer, he's moving. (Sold the car to pay for it.)

 

[mbaird]

Was there alchohol involved in this purchase ...lol

Have someone near the car go get it and hold it till you can arrange transport with a hauler or yourself.

if your gonna give up on it, can i have it?


i just got to find a way to get it home

 

[Brooks James]

Fly out or rent a car and drive it home? I'm sure your MOPAR family will assist. I'm taking my 2001 Jeep Cherokee from SC to flat tow the 68 Formula S from Marion, SD back home. Got anyone to go with you? Road Trip!!!

I flew from Reno to drive my 70 Dart back to Orlando. I also got a run around from transporters who said it was dependent
On when they were available.in other words well get to you when we can.

I was thinking the same thing. I was just out there and would have driven it back east for him.

No, just stupidity. I was stupid enough to think this might actually work out. Should have known better. Though right now, drinking myself into a stupor sounds really good.
