Moving out and question

I'm moving from LA to Utah. I think my dad and mom will be coming with me.

According to Mapquest.com this trip estimated time is 11 hours and 40 minutes with 783.45 miles

Would you rather drive your Evo or have it shipped?

What are the pros and cons of driving an Evo such long distance? My car is fairly brand new, bought it in november 06 and it has 7000 miles now.

Please make your vote counts.

Thank you for your participation.

i actually voted that you drive it...but when i saw the part where you said that your parents will go with you...i change my mind. dont drive if your parents will ride with you...you already know why. just have it shipped then.

I would drive it. I've never been to that side of the country, but I imagine you're driving through a mountainous region. Which could be fun.

Actually only about 100 miles MAYBE of that full 783 is much fun, LA to Reno is boring as HELL if you go that way, and LA to Vegas is just about as boring... On your way through from Mesquite to St.George if you go through Vegas is fun, then its boring all the way to Salt Lake... If you come through Reno, you'll pass through Wendover (WOOT ) and then you'll go past Tooele so you could get off and stop by MillerMotorsportsPark on your way into Salt Lake, pass the Airport and Magna and run into downtown Salt Lake. Either way, I guarentee you'll be bored as hell unless you haul ***, if your parents are in the car with you I doubt that will happen. If they'll pay for shipping or help pay for that (Or if they'll pay what they would've had to pay for gas towards shipping) then I'd ship it, but ship it with a good reputable company.

It'll cost like maybe 200-300 dollars in gas, maybe a bit more or less depending on gas prices where you stop and how you drive. Shipping will be a lot more than that, I think (750 is my guess, but I couldn't say for sure).

And Type-R, you never told me what you are coming here for? And on top of that, what may the parents be tagging along for?

But I voted drive it, because its an Evo, and you're still stock so its not super duper bouncy or noisy.

thats why I'm thinking about getting them a car over here, more than likely a honda fit or a scion xb, so they could ride along and i drive the evo

Thanks for the great insight. I'm moving to Utah due to business related issues
