the engine is in the garage tore apart waiting for me to do something
with it, the car is sitting just outside the garage in the driveway.

That's a good comparison. The train can be your hotel, your
restaurant, and your transportation, if you pay for a sleeping
compartment. Four years ago the food was excellent, but I've heard
that might have changed. The train ride up the coast from LA to San
Fran is quite scenic. Trains have scheduling problems, mostly in the
areas where passenger trains yield to freight trains. It's possible
for Amtrak to get you to a station after the train you were supposed
to ride out of the station left.
If you could have a lister inspect and procure a car for you, touring
the country in a 300D 2.5 or a 300SDL would be quite nice. If you buy
it in California and sell it in Illinois/Wisconsin, you might even
turn a profit.
If you relive the POS SDL saga while on vacation, that would not be
fun or profitable. I wonder if it's feasible to take a train to Tulsa
and find a usable car at Okie Acres? Seems like that place has more
drivers than reliable cars these days. How's Reggie's W140 doing?
Mitch.
