Okay,
Update!
So my sister plan to move back east now. Vacation time is already approved, plane ticket purchased, and cash in the bank.
So now the plan is to try to do PCH or part of it then head east, all the way east, to PA!
I just looked up some stuff for sale, requirements are now higher on reliability, and emissions stuff is more negotiable as I can sign the title for PA reg and leave CA.
I plan to try to document the trip on here if you guys and gals are interested, sortof a $3K fly and drive adventure with serious mileage.
Little list I came up with today, feel free to add your own findings! I limited craigslist, but if you know of vehicles for sale feel free to add!
Thanks, Mike
