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.

a one way rental isn't cheap. it'll probably run over $100 depending on which state you leave it in. i had to pay like $150-$200 when i left my rental up near Butler, PA when i picked up my svx. about what? $40 in gas? so about $200-$220 for a one way trip down?
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.
