Hi Folks
My 914 has been sitting outside in Seattle and I'd really like to get it to LA to keep the mold and rust from killing it. Two months of weather have already done some harm. Any ideas for economically getting it down there? The options I've explored so far are upwards of $800 and that's pretty painful. Thanks Joe |

From Seattle to LA, you're looking at ~1200 miles. At 20 mpg +/- that's 60 gallons of gas. 60 x $3.75 = $225 in gas to drive it down. Figure a two day trip (1200 miles in a day is unsafe if you're alone) and add in a hotel room for $100, plus food/drinks on the cheap (McDonalds) for $50, and you're nearly at $400. Add in your airfare, what ever that'll cost plus the fact that you burn at least four days in this process (travel up, drive back and recovery) and that $800 doesn't look so bad anymore.
