You just have to get yourself on a website for personal car transport. With the free flights you could make bank. Just tell people to leave it at the airport parking lot and mail you the keys.

Re: Gone in 60 seconds, Stealthmode edition
Just got back tonight. Those were some long days, but I couldn't have asked for more fun of a car to drive. I hadn't seen this car before I got there, but this is what I found:
(I didn't actually find it in a remote desert (homemade **** stop), that's just where I took the cell phone pic)
[img width=700]http://img365.imageshack.us/img365/6273/bradscarcx7.jpg[/img]
The car practically drives itself. The cruise control is bangin hot. Paddle shifters, basically a stick without the clutch. Dark tint is always good with me, as well as built in GPS and Sat. radio with the dash screens for display. He told me this car has 375whp, and at over 3600 pounds, I'll accept that. The chrome dubs could have been black, but even with the 35 series tires it was smooth as ***, and took the rocky mountain corners at 90 with ease.
Since this is turning into a review, the one downfall was the transmission shifts. Even with light throttle, it had a 1/2 second pause (or windup) and then it would leap forward going into the next gear. I got used to it, but at first just cruising city streets I was wondering how they could sell a car in mass like this that paused and jumped into every gear, regardless of the driving style. I got used to it, and eventually found the traction control button.

Oh, and I only managed to get one speeding ticket. 
I had the cruise on lock at 90 in Colorado (75 mph zone) and I saw this pig coming from the opposite direction on the highway. I didn't even flinch cause there was no traffic and he was on the other side of the ditched highway. Right as I pass him I see him hit the fucken brakes. There was a round-about thing in the dirt right there and the ****** decided to go for it. I'm looking in the mirror and this ----------er almost kills himself drifting off the dirt and on to my side of the freeway. He got me for 89, which wasn't any more dangerous than his tokyo drift, but we all know it's about money anyway. $77 added to the cost of the transport.

Re: Vanishing Point: Accomplished.
All you need to know is "I get mine, son".
I'm not real worried about the ticket. Out of state, won't effect me, and the owner of the car owns more houses than he could see in a year. $77 ain't ----.
