Hi Folks,
I did a search on the site, and holy cr@p, the shipping costs are high. There is no way I can drive the car that far (it only has a range of 70 miles). What options are available to me to haul the car from San Diego to Santa Clara (south SF Bay Area)? Thanks! |

I'm with the U-Haul guys but you could always....
Duct tape a gasoline generator to the targa top and plug it in for the trip. Solar panels  Or how about this nifty range extender. The guy took the engine out of the car and installed it in a trailer to power a generator. Claims 20 miles to the gallon this way! Burns coal to charge the batteries And gas to run the generator!
