Mikeystoy Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Just putting a call out to my Ratsun family here; I am going to be driving the Bee down to San Diego within the next 2-3 weeks. My gramma is dying and I want her to be able spend time with my 2.5 yr old before she goes. I will be driving I-5 most of the way and I want to get some locals on board in case I have any trouble. I don't have aaa, and money is very tight, so if I break down, I can't afford a tow. I don't have time waiting on a part to come in. So If I had someone with a trailer to call, or someone who can raid their parts horde cheep, it would be great. I you don't mind making yourself available, pm me your contact info, hopefully I won't need it, 2 Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 If you break down from Monroe to Everett, Im your guy... Good luck on the road and Im sure your grandma will appreciate the time with the little one. Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 I could scoop you up from Tacoma to Washington side of Columbia. Is your car auto or stick ? As using a dolly is way easier on gas than the car trailer. You aint going to break down so it don't matter anyways. I could send PM later as there's a few times during the day you would have to wait a while before i can leave here. Quote Link to comment

angliagt Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 I'd take highway 99 from Sacramento,rather than I5,as there's nothing out there on I5,plus it's one of the most boring drives I've ever taken.And,also, if you have problems,there's a better chance of getting help. - Doug Quote Link to comment

tr8er Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 If I can help, I'll cover everything from the coast to Japan. I'd be there if I was there though. Sorry your kid didn't make it. Went through the same. My kid saw gramps, but only in a coma... Peace to your family, hope you have some stories to tell. And I recommend writing an email or letter to your kid after this trip to tell a couple of em, cause no doubt they will be told. Quote Link to comment
