Awesome! You'll figure out something by then. You have 3 and a half months to prepare.

We'd like to go but figuring out how to get the Bee there is whats holding me up. I'd like to drive there in the Bee but the fuel range is very bad 160ish miles per tank, I'm still looking at trailers or having Reliable transport it there ugh... who knows lol we'll see.

You should ask Kellie or Christian. Christian trailered his car last year and I'm pretty sure that Kellie is going to be doing the same, seeing as how she will be the first slammed widebody in Utah.

You should ask Kellie or Christian. Christian trailered his car last year and I'm pretty sure that Kellie is going to be doing the same, seeing as how she will be the first slammed widebody in Utah. We rented a trailer from a guy on KSL.com and used our truck to tow but I know he rented his truck too. It was reasonable, I think about $200 for a week. Pros: Car stayed clean. Car was in trailer when we were stopped on the highway due to snow for over an hour - had to use four wheel low in first gear on the way down the mountain. Corvette and mustang on the side of the road. Charger would have been on the side of road Had an extra vehicle to go driving in when we went sightseeing. No extra miles on the car. No extra rock chips on the fascia. Car stayed clean ;D Cons: Headache getting car in trailer because srt8's are low. Had to buy lumber to build a ramp. Had to buy a stronger hitch. Had to buy stronger tie downs. Not much clearance on either side (don't think widebody will fit) Cost Trip took 2 days since you really can't go faster than 70 mph towing that much weight. We stopped often to check the tie downs and tighten if necessary. They made us pull-over at the California border and checked the trailer and car out. They didn't make us take the cover off - I guess we looked honest. That being said we are checking into transports but I'm sure the cost will not be reasonable. Transports will not take care of your car - they don't care if they scratch it or tie it down properly. We could drive, but dang, I hate to see rock chips on a newly painted vehicle. It's a dilemna.

It's a dilemna. i think the pros definitely out wiegh the cons in my book! tuff to say with the widebody and the trailer for sure, i know they have a trailer it will fit in though, probably gonna have to do some research! but i for sure would trailer mine if it was of your rides caliber Kellie way to nice to drive that far! My car last year had all kinds of pits in the front spoiler from the drive! The drive down with Ben and Richard and the crew last year was fun though!
