Cars X Girl

I think the most common question we were asked when we were moving was how we moved three cars.

The answer’s pretty lame: Two drove, the third was trailered. As so:

The truck with 240SX being trailered. S2000 & Miata drove up here themselves. No issues!

It’s unusual?

I guess this is mostly because it’s apparently unusual for people to have more than one car personally. A family of three with three cars? Sure. But a couple with three? Huh? Why?

I like them. That’s why.

They’re definitely worth the extra bit of figuring to keep them.

Moved our stuff anyhow…

Really, it wasn’t anything extra to get the 240SX moved. We were already planning on moving ourselves.

You see, the government would have done it for us… If we wanted. But they wouldn’t have moved the 240SX. Either way she needed to be trailered up here. Why not do it with a truck with our stuff too?

So we got a 16′ rental truck with a car trailer, loaded it up with stuff, got the 240SX on the trailer with no issues and drove four days to get here. I’m definitely set for a while after all that. (Four days with no cruise is HORRIBLE.)

And now…

We’re here and done! But I’m working on figuring out how we’re going to get the 240SX to Seattle… I’m not sure there are any shops local to Spokane who are as familiar with the SR20DET as I’d like them to be to fix her up, so Seattle it is.

The way I’m figuring it is she’ll get towed there, and hopefully drive back… Not too much to ask, right? D:

I do need a new set of wheels for her, though. Whatcha think of these as an in-between wheel?

Bigger wheels would lift her up without excessive fender gap to make her more drivable... But I can't afford my VS-XX's yet, so...

Overall, not bad!

At the end of the move, I can’t say I wouldn’t do it again, though my husband was less than thrilled…

It should be a good few years before we have to think about it again, so that’s not a pending worry in any form. Other than the fact that we’re being moved to a new house in January. (Ours is getting renovated, so we’re doing a very local move this time!)

Then again, fingers crossed that our next move is out of the country… Definitely not doing that myself!

Meg

In 2007, Meg began learning about cars. Two years later, she had a very modified '97 Miata and a '90 240SX project car, as well as the Rookie of the Year autocross title. Life now completely revolves around cars and she wouldn't have it any other way. CarsxGirl is her way to encourage others to get into racing (it's not horribly expensive!), to document & share her car builds, an outlet to share & improve her automotive photography skills and to show that real car girls do exist!
