You either didn't sleep at all, or went really fast. I'm guessing on the sleep since you were towing with a t-brid.

If you can't find any good prices. Tow the mustang with you, and I'll fly up there and drive your truck down for $600. I don't have nothing else better to do.

Amtrak's Auto Train is nonstop from Lorton VA to Sanford FL, in other words, DC to Orlando.

Good luck with the move. Sorry to lose anther Central Jersey Guy (South River here).

I loved the beaches and weather down there, it was just the employment that made me move back to NJ. Jobs were all so low paying and I could'nt make my budget work.

i hear you about the unemployment. i lost my job up here and the aviation industry is dead. i own an investment rental house down there. when i look at what it costs to live up here there was not much of a choice. plus i am getting tired of the cold, the crowds and above all the expense. i figure the way the economy is no matter where you live now its gonna be tough so i am going to live where i percieve it to be more comfortable.


as far as what i have found out about the moving of the truck and stang. bids are from 1325 to 1700. i now have to figure out which company is reputable. they have it priced to where its a little more than drag it down and fly back up. figure in the time and its probably worth it.

Jeez, think they would cut you a deal since they are both going to the same location. Wish I would of kept the guy that moved my jeep's number.
I would still try and find a driver, and try to deal with him personally. Most people aren't going to be messing with your vehicles b/c time is money. Plus, they've probably moved stuff a little more appealing then an F150, and a GT.

My offer still stands.

good point. i must be to paranoid and untrusting or i watch to many of those under cover investigative shows on the news. you know the one where a guy drops the lambo off at valet parking for dinner and they got the cameras taking pics of them doing donuts and drifting.
