Just drove 1282 miles in 19 hours 33 minutes

[mixedbreed02gt]

for a set of 03/04 Cobra Seats for my 2002 Mustang GT!!!!

I left Nashville yesterday to drive to Mt. Pleasant, Pennsylvania to buy a pair of 03/04 Cobra seats, black with dark grey inserts.

Went through Louisville, Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus, and through West Virginia, into Pennsylvania...what a trip too!

Only thing I stopped for was fuel, food, and the seats. Did the complete round trip in 19 hours 33 minutes, and I didn't stop for sleep.

That's the longest and farthest I've driven in a 24 hour period.

here's the cargo I collected!!

i got back home this morning at 4:44 am, i hit the pillow and I was gone, but had to take the rental truck back to Enterprise by 9 so I only got about 3 1/2 hours sleep when I got home, now I can't get back to sleep, so figured I might as well post it up.

I got on the road at 9:11 am yesterday morning (all times central time).

What did it cost you to pick them up vs what it would have cost you to have them shipped?

QFT

Long trips = Howard Stern and Maxim Radio with some Sirius Hits 1 and Hair Nation in the mix for good measure.

Dedication is right.... at 12 MPG is close to $500. of gas.

 

[mogs01gt]

How much did you get them for?

 

[mixedbreed02gt]

drove up there by myself. couldn't find anyone to go with me. but I got to see a bad ass lightning show coming through Cincinatti...that lightning was wicked!

 

[mixedbreed02gt]

Dodge Dakota quad cab V-6 rental, plus $240 in fuel. didn't get a shipping quote, so I don't know. I just went.

i did it at 20 mpg @ $240.

How much did you get them for?

$850 and they are nearly immaculate!

Ouch! I'm sorry you had to drive through that. I luckily got home from work a couple of hours before it hit, it was quite a light show last night.

By the way love the seats!

So how did it work with you? You bought the seats for $25,000 and out of the kindness of their heart they threw the rest of the car in with it?

 

[mixedbreed02gt]

why you have to drove that far ? can they ship ?

it's a little problem I have, it's called instant gratification.

i wanted it now, not tomorrow, or 3 days later, and with damages because UPS would have been careless and torn crap up.

I'm a "if you want it done right, you do it yourself" kind of guy, unless of course it's something that's out of my league or beyond my experience or knowledge.
