Hey Ryland,

I just re-read that you said the WHEELBASE is 48 inches wide.

Would this car fit on a four foot wide trailer or NOT?

4-foot trailers are much more common (cheaper!) than 5 footers.

I have called around to a couple of freight and moving places. The freight place said they would recommend AGAINST moving the Citicar as Less-Than-Truckload freight unless it was custom crated.

When I called a big residential moving company they immediately recommended a car carrier company. They said moving it in one of their vans would be much more expensive.

I am starting to think the roadtrip is the way to go...

EDIT:
I just got back an e-mail from my wife from me talking about driving to California this weekend to get the CitiCar.

Here is the actual quote from her:

"You will owe me BIG TIME!!"

OH, and in another e-mail, she said:
YES - YOU ARE INSANE!"

Want to see something really crazy? This map!
