He says it won't go past 2nd gear. Try putting it in manual mode and shifting 1-2-3 as you accelerate, you might get 3rd out of it, which would defidently make the trip easier. Also, it's probably not a 5hr drive anymore if you only hvae second gear, estimate 8ish, perhaps more depending on how often you need to stop. Also you can rent uhaul truck + trailer for about 150$, which is a full car trailer, all wheels off the ground, and you can take it one way + gas. Might want to try that out.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, scotch in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming HOOOOYA !!!!!
