It seems I have agreed to purchase a vehicle that is currently in Orlando, Florida.  I live in Ohio.

Flights are super cheap ($23 one way), but I'd rather not get on a plane right now if I can help it.  I know there was a car coming north, anybody looking to send anything south in the coming weeks?

Additionally, anybody looking to send anything north, I'll have plenty of trunk room.

Spirit, if you plan it right, probably.

Wondering what it is?

Was the draw of the Infiniti Q45 so strong that you actually had to have one?

I'm driving a Prius to Acworth,  GA and back this week.  I'm not sure how that helps with Orlando,  which is still 7 hours away, but there you go. 

The Prius can't tow much but it could easily be towed, if you bought something big.

Down on Tuesdays,  back on Saturday (could stretch to Sunday.)

It could easily tow a prius, but no hitch and they're not easy to come across anymore.

Tagging along to Georgia and getting a rental car would work if it wasn't for the insane rental car prices right now.  It's probably going to cost me more to get from the airport to the car (18 miles) than it will to get from Cleveland to Orlando (1000 miles).

Have you been trolling the Florida retirement communities? 

Reading obituaries and then cross referencing with BMV and vehicles registered?  

Damn, that looks clean!  No vinyl top hiding multiple sins is a wonderful thing.

I wish I could say I put in that amount of effort.  It was on ebay and I threw a low bid expecting to get sniped at the end.  

I'm hoping it's as clean as it looks, slicktop fleetwoods are getting hard to find (Cheapish atleast).  Wish it had a moonroof but I'll trade it for no mocktop.

Plan is to leave it stock and use it as a nice weather road trip car when we don't want to take the hearse.  It may get a slight drop and SS rims if the opportunity presents itself.

Try Turo, I was shocked by the prices

Flight booked for 8/10.  I'd love to go sooner, but that's when worlds collided.

I'll likely grab an Uber from the airport to the car, I'll check turo but I'll be solo so thats tough.  Hoping to drive through to ohio, maybe a stop at a rest stop if needed.

Grm express available along the way, traveling from Orlando Florida to North East ohio.
