So, what do you think it would cost to get it from Powell River BC to 
Washington DC?
Start with a ferry ride or 2 to get to Vancouver and then drive it about 
3,000 miles accross the northern states.

It will wallow down the road, slowly, gulping gas along the way. It is good

Aha.  Deal breaker.  Thanks.  

It will be interesting to see where the bidding goes.  Currently at $750.
I would guess $2250 by the end of the auction.  Any others?
