Wisconsin to Maryland - car, zero-turn, and log splitter.

[rmaynard 15,580]

My son-in-law has a '73 Scamp, a zero-turn mower and a log splitter that he is exploring options to transport to Maryland. He's willing to pay all reasonable costs or trade for beer . This is a serious request. Contact me and I can give you details.

Very powerful bargaining tool, are you showing your hand this early?

Is that one of those rare factory color matching, Plymouth Scamp wheel weights laying beside the passenger door?

Let me rephrase.

 

All reasonable costs PLUS beer.

Be nice @squonk My college car was a 71 Plymouth Duster that color.  Stripped down version had rubber flooring, no carpet, but had AC. 

Made the Used Car Salesman a low ball offer.  He told me I was crazy.  But as I walked out the door said Sold.     

Certainly wasn't a Chick magnet!

After a lot of of discussion, my son-in-law and my grandson Mason flew to Green Bay, rented a truck and a car carrier, and are ready to drive 13 hours home.

 

But first, they are attending the 2nd annual tractor pull hosted by his brother this weekend.

Well they left at 4am this morning and 45 minutes later they hit a deer.

 

 

No one hurt but the deer. But, they are dead in the water until the Penske agent arrives.  Both guys have to be back tonight. Scott for work and Mason for school. I feel helpless. I told them to get a couple rolls of duct tape, make a Red Green repair, drive until dark, and I will come pick up Mason. No answer to that, and no more information.

Well, they drove back to De Pere where Penske is bringing another truck up from Milwaukee. After unloading and reloading, they will try again.

Say a prayer for safe travels for both. Hope they won't be on !-80 in Pennsylvania, the roadsides there are always littered with deer that have been hit.

I'm not sure the route they take, but he has done this trip many times, but never with a box truck pulling a trailer. I'm sure he will be happy for any prayers and well wished sent on his behalf.
