hey i voted for what i thought was the cheapest....flying would take the shortest amount of time. i know transport from NJ to oregon was roughly a grand...so you can get an idea of how much it would to transport.
if you do that, make sure that the company doing the transport has insurance. Kelli

My vote is for flying, it will cost less then leaving a rental out of state (most likely) save the wife a long drive by herself, and is the quickest way to go.

You know, I never considered renting to be more expensive leaving the car out of state. Plan on hitting AAA on Monday to explore the cost of my options. Thought about the bus trip but it is a 19 - 21 hour ride depending on departure time. None too excited about the idea of sitting in a bus for a whole day. I will find out on Monday what the car rental costs will be. Flying is still an option I am open to if I can keep the cost down to a reasonable amount.

airfare would probably run you $200-$250. don't know about bus fares or train fares, but i imagine they would run between $75-$150 one way. gas on the return trip $40-$60? so about $300 (except for bus or train) total to get the car and back + time. i think you can ship a car from Huck's place to where you live for about $500. i got quoted by a few places to ship from chicago to atlanta for that price. if it were me, i'd ship it to save time and piece of mind.

Well, I just purchased airline tickets to Lexington airport. Cost me $226 with taxes and fees. When I really thought about what it would all cost me to drive/rent a car it was just not worth the time and frustration. Huck is going to pick me up at the airport and I am driving home from his place. Thanks for all the input! It really helped me to have your thoughts and advice.
 Johnny (can always count on my SVX family)
