Heading to Sprimo 5/8/12

Seems like the large majority take that awful bus ride. I'm planning on driving myself to SpringMo. Is leaving your car in the Prime lot for a few months really that bad of an idea that people opt for the bus?

 

My truck wouldnt make it to SpriMo so... Not without getting impounded. Im sure a few states have "emissions" laws that arent quite as relaxed as Bama... And my truck doesnt have a piece of emisions equipment on it, at least that works. And 2 glasspacks. There is a long term parking lot out back.

 

Maybe rent a car? Or is it too expensive?

 

These days it seems that one way rental cars are more expensive than taking a flight...

Detroit to Branson flight on Airtran (45 miles South of Springfield) 14 day advance on Sunday is $200

Gas alone for the rental car would be around $120

 

Amtrak-ing to Kansas City seems pretty cheap but I'm not sure how much of an improvement that is to the Greyhound and plus you'd have to figure out how to get to SpringMo from KC.

 

I just took the bus cause Prime was paying for it. Its a 10 hour drive from my house to SpriMo. I know cause Ive done it lol Some of those roads are not meant for a rig

 

Amtrak is alot nicer. Clean restrooms, dining car, observation car, sleeper car, alcohol, smoother ride, you can get up and walk around. If i had a long trip i would rather take the train.

 

i 2nd that skellr amtrak is way better i actually enjoyed those rides

 

#### bus is packed. Shaking my head. Crying babies, people talking loud for no reason. Ahhh gotta love the dirty dog.
