Anyone got access to a car hauler/knows anyone who'd rent it out for 50$ for a day/two?
I'm trying to get things organized - I'm having a serious moment where there is a car I am trying to get and really, I could have it by tomorrow if I went down to get it.
Anyway, so yes. If you know someone who'd wanna make 50$ for renting out their car hauler then please let me know. I think a tow dolly would work too (maybe 40$ instead?).
Thanks guys
(p.s. anyone know anything about rotary engines? I don't know squat and I'm worried about this one cause it's been sitting since november 2010 but was driven for 5 years up until then. Engine spins freely but that's all I know - oh and its' a 1984 RX-7)

Yeah UHauls aren't that bad, and if the car's stock height you shouldn't have much issue getting it on the dolly. We even got Subsonic loaded on with planks because it was so low you couldn't get a lawyer under it.

I owned a 1985 RX7. Was a great car, my 1st and only that had a choke on it. lol
For towing, go with uhaul. when I was looking at it, it was about $50 for the day. of course, you need something that you can tow it with, check out the uhaul site, they have everything there for you.

Co worker who has a mid 90's diesel chev and a tow dolly is taking me down to Kingston!
I should have it this Friday if all goes to plan! Unless my co worker flakes out but I offered him 150$ and he said yes. Once he confirms it's game on!! Previous Owner says the engine has lost compression from sitting so hopefully it won't take much to get it started!!

yes apparently they don't keep compression when they sit.

all ive got for rubber are azenis and hankooks.
no winter for it
at least, not much of one...
edit: if I can get it started i'll drive it as much as I can and often as I can. If not, I'll at least have it started regularly cause it'll need it.
