Life is too short for a younger guy to not chase their dreams.
I did it and it was great, but now that I'm closer to retirement I just can't wait as I have new dreams. Just a bit longer for me until I leave this stinkhole they call California.

Best way to get to sf. I survived communism with all that white privilege I’ll survive this.CorvetteWaxer wrote: ↑Thu Nov 21, 2019 12:05 pmYou ride FART?
Brave man.... but you're going to get killed on there.
I’m more concerned about my 9x lb woman. But she is on the white person privileged line

Oh goodie, a semantics debate.
But to me...something that has high ground clearance and a body on frame is a "truck"
JL="truck"
4Runner="truck"
A thing with a bed is a "pickup truck"
A Ridgeline is a "pickup crossover" just like the Baja was.

If I had more time to fly out and drive back, I probably would. This would be tough to do regularly and make any meaningful profit out of it.
I've actually considered a case where I buy an HD truck and enclosed car hauler and drive around the south and west buying interesting good clean vehicles and bring them back here to sell. Unfortunately, that's a significant time commitment. If I had other gigs going to enable it, I'd probably try.

Why would you fly? As I mentioned I'd source... If you trust my pickings... It would cut out that entire layer.Detroit wrote: ↑Thu Nov 21, 2019 12:44 pmIf I had more time to fly out and drive back, I probably would. This would be tough to do regularly and make any meaningful profit out of it.

Time commitment is a real issue.

When I shipped my CJ7 from Detroit to LA in 2008, it was $1k. I imagine now, that number is double. $2k for shipping really eats into the margin.max225 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 21, 2019 12:46 pmWhy would you fly? As I mentioned I'd source... If you trust my pickings...

It would beat working.Detroit wrote: ↑Thu Nov 21, 2019 10:50 amWhat the hell? That's a $10k truck out here. I really should start a business buying vehicles like this out there and driving them back to sell for a profit.max225 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 20, 2019 6:17 pm https://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/cto/d/ ... 32486.html

I didn't realize that transport costs are so flat. I guess gas is cheaper than it was in 2008, so it makes sense.

Anything 4x4 that rusted away is worth gold out here.
