Reno to AZ?

[GenLightening]

I have a core support that needs to get from Reno to Arlington, AZ. No rush.

hey i just found this section!!lol thanks for looking out doug!

 

[GenLightening]

I'm also checking with Yellow to see what it would run. It will happen!

 

[tractorman86]

I don't know if this will do anyone any good, but I'm planning on driving from the S.F. Bay Area to the L.A. area next month. I don't know how feasible it would be to get the core support from Reno to S.F. or from L.A. to Arizona, though...

if you're willing to do the LA hop, Doug's creative on getting stuff here.

Let me work on it. It will have to wait until I get back from vacation on the 2nd.

I'm definitely going down there, but at this point, it's looking like I'm "carpooling" with my mom. I just talked with her, and she proposed that we go down there together, and even with fuel getting cheaper, I'm not sure I can afford to say no.

I wonder how hard it would be to finagle it into a Honda Civic? I don't recall seeing a stripped-down core support out of a truck, so I don't know exactly how bulky it is...FWIW, the rear seats fold down to increase trunk space... and I'll have to talk to Mom about it

 

[GenLightening]

It's not too heavy, just bulky. Size wise, it's the width of the frontend, (5-6ft?) and about 3ft tall. Oh, and it's a bit greasy/oily too! I'm trying to see what Yellow will charge to ship it and if it's in his budget. I'll get on it as soon as I get back from Maui (Dec 2).

tim-
if you're thinking of cramming it in the back of a honda, forget it.
they're full of sharp points to destroy interiors and are both long and wide.

Ah, okay...I was thinking that it might fit in the trunk with the rear seats folded down (which, I think, would make a flat space about 6 feet long and 4 feet wide).

How heavy is it? Can two people lift it? I talked to my mom about this, and she actually suggested tying it to the roof (with a pad and tarps to keep it from scratching the paint), if it's not too heavy as to damage the roof. There's no sunroof on the car, FWIW.

I mean, it might be more trouble than it's worth...I'm just trying to help if I can

well i always loose this thread, hey doug did you ever get a quote from yellow? i might be able to buy it soon

 

[GenLightening]

It may be easier to just PM me. I think I checked with UPS and it was like $60 or so, I can check it again. Anyone going to the rally in a roundabout way? If Calvin or someone near him is going your way, I'll be around Santa Clara in 2 weeks.

 

[tractorman86]

i'll keep that in mind let me know, that might work dosen't calvin make trips to tx kinda often maybe he would pass fairly close to me...
