All: When I moved from North Carolina down here to Louisiana, I had to rent a car carrier rather than a tow dolly, because my car was rear wheel drive, plus I didn't feel like putting 600+ miles on TWO tires instead of four. I must admit that those things are very nice and affordable. The thing is finding the friend to go with me. The guy I know has a Chevy S-10. I doubt he could pull the DeLorean, even though it weighs ... Hey, how much DOES it weigh, anyway? And those car carriers weigh a lot, too. It two TWO of us fairly youthful strong guys to move one into position behind a truck once, before I drove my car (93 Duster) on it. At any rate, thanks for the advice! I'm waiting to hear back on the guy -- supposedly he was doing a bit of vehicle history examination ... To let me know approx how much I will sink into this car. I'm still talking to insurance agencies. There seem to be approximately 8,924,275 that will insure in the Greater New Orleans area ... I have called four ... And one is my current insurer, State Farm, who has said "We'll get back to you in two days." (Two DAYS? All they have to do is take my existing policy, add another vehicle to it, and give me a quote. Sounds like it's time for a switch anyway!) Wish me luck. TTFN - Farrar "Doc" Hudkins ;)
