If the car is so good why are you towing it?
Have it inspected by a real.place. Not Joe Bob ya bringn with you that knows not much more than you. Ya bringing a lift with you?
Get car inspected, do an oil change in motel 4 and a half lot. Get supplies and drive home.
If a street car can't make it home you don't buy it.
Why am I getting sucked into another Dan getting a car thing, what is it 10 years and car #1000 now?
