Hi Alan,
Mapquest (http://www.mapquest.com) shows it as being 1097 miles each way.
That's at least four days round trip probably five figuring the time to
hitch up the car and driving slower on the way back with the load. On a
good day I can do 500 miles in a nice big rental car not towing anything.
Anything over that and it gets dangerous. I drive between NYC and here
often and that's about 500 miles. Depending on traffic that takes me 8 to
10 hours. I personally don't like to drive much more than that in a day.
In any event, I can't afford to lose three days to a week of work right
now. Thanks for the info though. If this doesn't pan out I'll just keep
looking closer to home for a relatively rust free body.
Thanks,
Robert
