Greyhound. Yikes
I've not had that courage... but having taken Amtrak and Airtran to faraway places to return home with those special deals I can relate to the excitement. Why should a few hundred (or thousand) miles stand in the way of you and that 'new' car.
Only once was I completely let down... should have known.. went to get a diesel Jetta, and it ran fine in the driveway but rather exploded 10 miles down the interstate... Never seen oil pressure drop and temp skyrocket so fast. took less time than for me to slow down. unreal. All indications were normal prior... but that was a donation anyway. What do you expect for free?
Latest aquisition was the 300D, which I flew to see my sister in DE to pick up. I had to replace a wheel bearing on Labor Day weekend before I drove it home, but it has not needed anything since! (besides shocks and ball joints and some minor rust repair and filters and oil change and.....)
Enjoy your adventure! (btw: I highly suggest checking Amtrak if convenient to you- their tiny 'rail sale' link on their website has some unbelievable deals! I went from Pittsburgh to Chicago for $11 last year! Plus, your taxes already pay for it!)
Cheers,
Kevin
