Just buy a couple of those little red wagons at a garage sale and some rope. Tie the wagon handles to your lesbian car and hit the road. What could go wrong?

Tighten the **** out of it, towards the front especially...do 4 straps one across the front (about a foot in or 18"in) , then space them evenly Take it out for a spin Get it up to 65, go 10 miles, come back......check everything and all the straps..... If anythign moves even one inch, pull off the freeway and tighten that shit... If you puss out, or dont like the feel of it, take the staps back and say they sucked. |

I take it you don't have any friends with a truck that could help out? Parents?

The other option is to buy the hitch and wiring kit and install it yourself, you'd probably save about 50% on what u-haul quoted you....then rent a trailer....you would end up spending a couple hundo but maybe it would make the move easier?

it's $0.80 a mile...so you think it's a good idea to rent a Uhaul, drive it for 1600 miles, and then drive my car another 800 miles (two tanks of premium gas)...? That was a really well thought out idea.

That would add to the resale of your care, and youd be able to use it in the future. Renting a uhaul and making two trips is not a good idea unles syou need to make two trips anyway. |
so Hootie and Clay are sharing an account?

Follow pawn's advice, don't go over 65, and ditch the box springs and find a discount furniture store when you get there and pick a new one up for under $100. If it was just a mattress I'd give you a 100% money back guarantee that you'd be fine. Mattress and box springs equals certain death.
|
What about one of those moving Pods?

Tell Rick I moved a queen with no box spring just mattress on top of a 2003 cavalier with a '****er rigged' rack from Colorado springs to kc a month ago. Had no problems with it falling off and I drove next to several cops did not get stopped once. Not as far of a trip as he's making, but I thought i'd share since I recently had a similar problem.

Fly to Illinois, take it to the gate as a carry on, and then they'll gate check it for you for free.
|
Don't move. Mattress too important. Problem solved.
|
Take it to Chick-Fil-A and sell rides on it until you have enough cash to buy another one.
|
Take it to a hotel 10 miles north and switch it with their mattress. Then next year do it again. And again. Eventually it'll reach Illinois and that last hotel will have to go back to the starting point to recover its mattress.
|
Find a cattle drive to Illinois and convince the rancher that strapping a mattress to a cow provides shade and comfort to it.
|
Paint a "Mattress Walk for Veterans" message on it and tell people that you're marching to Illinois to raise awareness of veterans. Raise money for your walkathon and have people help you carry it from town to town as part of the process.

Trade car for scooter.
Totally redeem yourself! |
Put wheels on mattress. Sell car. Invest into scootymat. profit

Put in a giant envelope and put your new address in Illinois as the RETURN address then don't put a stamp on it... drop in mailbox.
|
Not going to read the thread, but if nobody has mentioned that luggage racks are often held to the car by plastic fasteners, it's worth considering.
|
Just let the air out of it and put it in it's carry bag.

Did the dishwasher job not pan out Mr. Houteman?
|
Heh, there has to be a way he can get that to Illinois.
Here's a thought, you remember that dude that traded a red paper clip on CL for a bunch of crap until he finally got a house? Do that. Advertise your professional lemon party services to anyone who will help you transport your date-rape pad all the way to the Land of Lincoln. |

Pony express will get that mattress there in a hurry, (unless they get bushwhacked by those darned Injuns).
|
I'm sure hooties parents will come down in the family mini van and pick it up.
