Alright, Im in whistler, and want to go back home, in Quebec. I drove down here with a friend, and brought so much stuff that I am pretty much stucked here. Bus or plane would be to expensive, and just to make it to the airport with all my stuff would be quite an achievement.

Im wondering if any of you would know some people in BC moving out east that dont want to drive their car. Come on, a lot of people are doing it, I would drive their car. Ive got a perfect driver abstract, and I know that road...anywhere close to montreal, toronto would do it ....Msg me, i need you guys help, lets use the "community" adjective for once...
Thanks

Why don't you get a job for a few weeks to make enough money to rent a U-Haul and gas and drive yourself home since time isn't an issue.

What? haha here in US it would be 19.95 for the smallest one a day, which would be big enough for you. Plus you would have to pay for gas, but damn, 2000 is out of control.

is your stuff really worth 2000 bucks. If not, just work for like a week to buy a bus ticket and then sell your crap and go home


ALSO WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU, STAY IN WHISTLER

it take 50hrs to go 3200miles that it is between Whistler and Quebec. going 60mph that 50 hrs which is just over 3 days. Factor in rest about 5 days taking your time 4 if you rush. Thats going the speed limit. Granted its a u-haul so you cant go really fast, but ive gone 70-75 mph in them before. so you can knock off about 5-10hrs right there.

do this:
go find a ticket as an air courier... plus side - you would probably get a ticket for like $100 - sometimes they're next to free.
down side- you can't take your own luggage cause you courier somebody else's.

with the savings, ship your stuff to yourself - a lot of times you can get your stuff stuffed onto a truck for really cheap - if they're going that way. if not, sell the big stuff and buy it again when you get home.

you can rent a dodge caravan, 300$ for 3 days... you'll have to pick and chose what you bring, but, as long as you drive damned fast, it's do-able. OR pick up a g-ride, for 100$ . gas will be killer expensive and no guarantees it'll make it to quebec, but she'll get you halfway.
