is this crazy or what??????? lol????????

5 or 6 years ago my son and I flew out to Kansas City, MO (from Macon, GA). Bought him a Dodge Dakota p/u and drove it home - 1,000 mi. or so. It was fairly stressful. Every squeak and rattle had me wondering "is this where it leaves me walking"? It never did and has been a good truck ever since.

If it where me, since the car hasn't been driven in a long while... I would rather drive a truck out there and tow it home with a tow dolly.

If it hasn't been driven in a while, belts could break, hoses pop a hole, thermostat stick, etc. etc. Sorry to sound like that, but it would still be a trip to talk about and you wouldn't have the stress and/or potential break downs.
