I am driving across the country to New Mexico, with my son as he starts a new job. I would like to drive a car back to the east coast. Excellent driving record. Recently retired business owner who drove at least 30,000 miles per year. I’m hoping someone out there might have a need I can fill. Let me know. Dennis ---

> [@Eagledenny01\_151852](#): > > I’m hoping someone out there might have a need I can fill. Huh? Please explain what you are proposing as it is not clear. I am guessing you looking for a car that needs to be transported from New Mexico back east? And you would drive it there? ---

Yes, if there is a car that needs to come east, I’d be happy to drive it here. I read this after sending it, and agree, it wasn’t clear. Thanks. ---

That is what I understood. What totally confused me was the thread title. New Mexico is quite a distance from the West coast! ---

Wouldn’t it be a lot easier to simply fly back? ---

Well I just retired, I have all sorts of time, why not see the country? Regards, Dennis ---

There are lots of listings in that Category. The Yellow pages or the internet will have that info. I once drove a car (using “Cars to California”) from Detroit to San Francisco, but had to pay for my own gas.I made a holiday out of it and took the full 7 days allowed to reach my destination. The car was a Buick Riviera, very cushy and powerful. The way back was through L.A. and Arizona, Texas, New Mexico, etc., I bought a Greyhound ticket and enjoyed the scenery from my seat in the bus. Stopped off at Flagstaff Arizona and visited a school buddy. Greyhound lets you do that. You may find the bus rather cramped, but I would fly back since you have already seen the scenery. Unless you want to take an entirely different route back. Happy motoring! ---
