before being an ass, you should've calculated a lil better...
gas would be probably 500-600...its 32 hours, so she would have to pay for hotel night stays on the way here....
i really do understand your logic...
im not really sure exactly whats wrong with the car, thats just what she told me...so most likely, she just got that info from someone "thinkin" whats wrong with it...
if it were up to me, she should let the car go because its in her ex's name, but she wont do it!! haha

my buddy paid 1200 to have his explorer shipped from canada to orlando and it was here with in a week. It was on a normal semi car hauler straped down good and tight all by its self the whole way here. So check around alot last time I checked its further to canada than it is to AZ

Sorry, I wasnt being an ass, I speak directly so there is hopefully no confusion. It apparently didnt work.

That car must get crappy mileage, even at 20 mpg its still under 300 bucks at 2.55 a gallon (national average) for 2000 miles (my estimate, I dont know where in fl she lives). In fact its 2000miles/20mpg=100 gallons for the trip, at 2.55 its 255 bucks. So I was off 55 bucks roughly, not 250-300. Even tip of fl to almost west edge of az is ~2400 miles by mapquest, thats 300 bucks exactly, still figuring at 20mpg, and most cars will beat that easily. 25mpg the 2400 mile trip is $244. 30mpg (thats what my daily 3300 lb car gets on the highway) makes that 2400 in

$204.

But I get what you are saying too. If it were me I would drive it and sleep at the truck stops. Women dont understand that though, you are right she would want hotels and fancy meals. Once I drove a 72 BMW back from Orlando to Wichita in 24 hrs flat at 4400 rpm, with a bag of beef jerky and a broken radio.
