[88Racing]

What I saw this morning just made me think if the car hauling company was coming out ahead of the game.

They(1 driver and 1 passenger) were driving a 88 chevy 1 ton dually probably with the 454. What they were hauling were 2 smart cars(the cars looked used).

Option 1.
Truck and trailer.
400 miles total.
5 mpg.
Gas $2/gallon.
$160 of gas.
2 people@$9/hr each.
Total time pickup and back 8 hours.
Labor $144.
Total $304.
Not including wear factor.

Option 2.
400 miles total.
Gas@$2/gallon.
Driving the cars.
3 people@ $9/hr.
7 hrs total.
No load time.
$189 labor.
Transport car gets 30 mpg.
Roughly 13 gallons.
$28
Each smart car gets 50 mpg.
4 gal each.
8 gal total.
$16
$233 total.
Not including wear factor.

Now not all dealers pay out like this. Just thought I'd like to see the difference.

So
$304-$233::$71
That's the savings with option 2.
