    Just let him know that members with 4 wheel drive wagons have to pass the standard initiation which is towing a Pacer!

    Seriously, good luck regardless of which route works.

    Hey...if you like that scenario....GO for it!(y) I don't care if you want to pull it back yourself with a rope and a shoulder harness...just as long as you GET it.:D But, it's a free car that may have some not so nice surprises so I just want you to get it there as cheap as possible. Cheapest way, I think, is to drive there and pull it back with a borrowed trailer.

    That's IT!??? 130 lousy miles??? Your brother can't do 260 miles for you? Never mind...none of my business. BUT...at that distance, finding some kind of help scenario shouldn't be a huge problem. Going to get it should be a piece of cake.

    Does this car RUN?? If so, the above plan by 64CS may be a good one.

    If this car is a Cleveland car there may be some serious rust under there.

    to this first one......i dont think so.....he said he doesnt think it does, but he's not sure.....and to the second one.... thats what im think to.......but hey it is what it is.......the u-haul is is pretty exspensive too.....so far with the rental....and the miles it came out to around 225.....thats not counting..tax..gas..down payment......so your right transport would be cheaper......but i really dont have the money.....i think it would be better if someone on here did it bcz it simply would just be cheaper and if it came out to just be a P.O.S i wouldnt feel to bad.....i mean really around $350 for 260 mile ?! thats crazy.....especially because the car is free !!!

    Actually, I have heard of this unwritten, hardly ever used, rule for all new members who join with a car and a community that start with the letter "A".
