take a bag of tools and a friend, a cell phone , AAA membership and lots of 
money. I would be most concerned that you have to cross 2 mountain ranges, 
deserts, and lots of miles. What are the road conditions in say denver when 
you make this trip. Stick to the major roads, incase you do have problems 
there will be alot of travelers on the road to help...I spoke with a trucker 
here in ohio and he said he usually hauls cars for approx $700 from 
callifornia to ohio. How much is the gas and lodging going to run you? I 
have drempt of theis same journy buut have never had the guts to do it. So 
you are a test bed for all of us who want to do the same. I hope it is a 
very uneventful trip so i can use you as an example and go get a nice duster 
or demon in california.
