i am moving at the end of august to be with my Master permanently. we have talked about him flying out to me in SLC and then both of us driving my 98 Honda CRV back to MD. i was thinking with gas prices and hotel rooms, it could cost us upwards or more than a thousand bucks to do the drive (but it would be so much fun, i love road trips!) when i brought the price of the road trip up to him he suggested selling my car and just flying there and getting a new one when i'm with him. i would most likely sell my car to my daughter for a really cheap price, like a thousand bucks so that would help her out a lot in the whole scheme of things.
short plane trip to him, helping my daughter out by selling her my car for ridiculously cheap, and a new car for myself when i get to MD..............or 5 day expensive road trip, but lots of one on one time with him and i come out of it with a car that's paid for on top of all the wonderful time i spent with him and all the stuff i get to see while on the trip. i'm having a hard time weighing the pro's and cons here.
The road trip certainly <i>does</i> sound fun, but what would prevent you from having a road trip with him after the move? There are road trips aplenty to be had, and in the meantime your daughter doesn't have any wheels.
I think there are pros to both sides, but I think the practicalities of selling your car outweigh the fun you'd have driving to MD (good karma too, I really wish my parents would sell me their car). And like I said, you can always go on other trips. Right?
