Gonna do the drive (was 1995 S6 problems/issues? AND auto shipping from VT to CO)

[Tom Winter]

Well, I've researched shippers (didn't give me a lot of confidence: huge
variations in price, no ability to commit to an exact pick-up date and few -
if any - companies seemed to know where Vermont was).

I seriously considered Chris at Force 5's offer to drive it for a small
token ($$) of appreciation plus expenses. Sorry that it didn't work out,
Chris. But your wife will be happy to have you around next weekend on her
birthday.

I crunched the numbers and found cheap airfare to Vermont. Driving will cost
me time, but much less $$ than any other option. Plus I'll get to play with
the new toy. My big work deadline is on Wed of next week, so I won't have to
hit the panic button if something goes wrong and my return is delayed.

So, yes, I'm gonna do the drive.

I'll be picking the car up very late on Friday, August 4. Will try to avoid
deer and get an hour or two in on the road (the time change works in my
favor, as it will only be 9pm mountain time when the plane lands, so I'll
still be wide awake).

Not sure of the exact route I'm going to take, but will keep you guys
posted. Provisional plans include trying to visit relatives in Appleton, WI,
so I'll be taking the northerly route.

I'll keep everyone posted. And yes, the group was right. I should have just
buckled down and committed to driving from the get go!
