That's a long distance to be "on the limit."

Are you active duty or retired military? Would try to do a "house hunting trip" in the Civic, catch a Space A flight back to McDill, then drive the Odyssey to your final destination. That's how I did the move from Pax to San Diego. I bought a one way plane ticket to do the SD to Miami, and Miami to the 757.

Actually I purchased a round trip, and didn't execute the 2nd half. It was actually cheaper than buying a 1-way ticket.

Easier solution -- Beerman 06/08/2018 12:36PM

It's HokieMacDaddy, he doesn't have any buddies. ** -- BTHokie 06/08/2018 1:30PM

Sounds like you should rent something for that trip and blow someone else's -- Brown Water 06/08/2018 11:57AM

It's not a trip, it's a move -- so he needs both cars at the new location ** -- Nova Hokie 95 06/08/2018 12:00PM

Ah, I missed that part. Nevermind. ** -- Brown Water 06/08/2018 12:27PM

Nah prolly just drive em both out -- HokieMacDaddy 06/08/2018 12:00PM

You could take turns with them and blow up both transmissions ** -- bigbadbird 06/08/2018 11:54AM

Well you are hauling 3 to 4k lbs behind the tow vehicle. So yes you need -- fordham 06/08/2018 11:51AM

You need to be most worried about braking response -- typed by ben 06/08/2018 11:46AM

And a follow up question to you gear heads. I have heard/read that you -- Coach McGuirk 06/08/2018 11:46AM

You're missing something alright ** -- Brown Water 06/08/2018 12:39PM

Its not a good idea to stick the tranny in neutral and roll, wear and tear -- fordham 06/08/2018 11:54AM

You could try this... -- vthhhi 06/08/2018 11:33AM

How far are you talking about towing? -- EDGEMAN 06/08/2018 11:24AM

That is actually a pretty long distance -- turkeywinghokie 06/08/2018 11:52AM

Odyssey doesn't strike me as being a good towing car. -- Hokie360 06/08/2018 11:38AM

Aren't Odyssey transmissions known to be problematic? ** -- MP4VT2004 06/08/2018 12:16PM

Not mine - 175K miles and nary a problem ** -- HokieMacDaddy 06/08/2018 12:22PM

Man I read that as "towed a cat". No, to the "car" anyway. ** -- 48zip 06/08/2018 11:23AM
