It’s pricing us out of reasonable cash, yes.

Milgram ship - the practice of passing contents from enthusiast keeping extra travel investment under an hour for each leg

Named after the famous experiment that identified 5 degrees of separation , later more infamous for electrically shocking people at Yale


It’s often better to get to population centers to make this work.

Antlers to OK City to KC to Chicago to Detroit … I can get from there

OKC to Tulsa, OK is a popular trip for many. Tulsa to Joplin, MO? To Springfield, to Rolla to St. Louis? All up Interstate 44.
Big states and not many Volvos.

I must confess something. I dread having to disconnect the shaft from coupling. My first experience was on my 98xc parts car and second on 98xc daily driver; nightmares. I did not get either off. Can someone PLEASE either soothe my anxiety or solve the issue? Im sorry. Plus I dont know how I would make a crate for it. I wanted $200-$250 for it but if someone is able help me out, I would do $140-$180 for it, not sure. Is it worth more? I am broke so if I can get more cash for it, Im all in. I can transport it I think.
