I was serious. I'm "unemployed/selfemployed right now" Other than doing
things on my SHO and riding my mountain bike I'm not doing much of
anything. I have a job lined up for the end of september, so till then
it's all ME time. If done in advance one can get a cheap airline ticket,
then just drive back. 3000 miles, 3-4 days with stops. Gas I figure
would be sub $200. Basically it's a long weekend trip one way. I'd of
course have to bring my mountain bike and do a little riding along the
way, perhaps bump the trip out an extra night mmm Rocky mountains mmmm,
but its not too bad.
I wouldn't even have to really push the car cause I've got nothing
spectacular to do when I got back. Basically buy me a ticket out, pay
for gas, food, board, and a few bucks for my time and I'd be very
willing to do it. I don't know what it costs to get a single car from CA
to NJ but I'd have to guess around $1200-$1500 cause a buddy of mine
shipped a car from NC to Albany, NY and it was $650
You could prolly get away for much less than a trucking company would
charge of what a shipping company would charge.

Subject: [Shotimes] Re: Vehicle Relocation Service (Anyone?)
There used to be companies that did this. I think they would charge a
fee,
find a person off the street who needed cheap transportation across
country,
and give them your car to drive.
The reason I remembered this is that recently I read Yates book about the
"Cannonball Baker Sea to Shining Sea Trophy Dash", and several of the
entries used one of these vehicle relocation services as sources for
"race"
vehicles. I think the vehicles made it to their destinations very much
quicker than the service had planned on.
One of the drivers said that the owner of the vehicle he drove had
stipulated that it not be driven at night and it not be driven above the
speed limit. The driver said that before leaving NY he had broken both of
these stipulations.

Subject: [Shotimes] Stiff MTX
Hello Gentlemen,
I'm experiencing the first stages of a stiff shift in my 93 MTX. I had
Doug up at PP do a major service 1.5 years ago @ 103K miles. He did a
60/100K service and additionally I had him replace the clutch. While in
there he recommended new syncro gears both 1-2 and 3-4. I said fine,
make it sweet.
Well 1.5 years and 25K miles have gone by and I've recently (just the
last few days) felt resistance to shifting into first or second and
third or fourth when the car is warmed up and sitting still. If I'm
rolling just a little she seems to slip in ok but not as smooth as in
the past. Not flaming Doug, but I really didn't expect to have any
problems in the shifting for quite a while.
I changed the fluid this evening with Castrol DextronIII/Merkon. No
strange smells, nothing on the magnetic fill plug except a silver/grey
residue, very thin. So I'm thinking nothing's coming apart in there or
I'd find pieces.
Considering the cost to have someone even take a look at it I was hoping
one or more of you more experienced SHOtimers could offer some
suggestions.
Please respond directly to me @ cgates@medousa.com, thanks, Chris
