I was kinda wondering about this also. I am going up to Michigan(2 hours from Detroit), and am currently in FL. I am kinda scurred cuz my car is an import and also not just stock. I just read the get a beater comment, and I am really thinking that is not a bad idea...picking up an old pickup or something. But then my problem is storing it somewhere, since I would need it for long trips and the closest possible storage would be 2 hours away.
