    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA This made me LOL!!!!!!!

    Yea, this is about a 2 hour drive one way for me in good traffic. Give or take.

    This came to mind.............

    Ok, this was going to be my suggestion. For Jim to have the seller cross the bridge to somewhere in between him and Jim. Then Jim could meet up with me downtown here. I might have to ride with the trunk open but having some dimensions of the bumper would be nice and help me figure that all out. Remember, if Jim and I meet downtown in Baltimore where I work it will have to be on a Thursday when my wife is working from home. I doubt very much she will want to sit in the back of the car behind me so I can transport car parts to the house. But I generally don't speak for her or assume anything. I am almost always wrong.

    Get dimensions P! Please.

    Again, get me the dimensions of the awning. If that can be handed off to Jim then I bet he would be willing to bring it the entire way to my house. Then I could get them up to Delaware to someone from the north that can move it up that way. This is all mute if 1) these things are too big to fit in my car or 2) we don't have anyone for me to drop them off to.

    I mean, I have 2.5 acres a chain and a lock for the bumper or I might be able to fit both in the garage no problem. I can hold them basically, indefinitely.

    @fatfurious2 I believe its about 84"L x 10"W x 10"D at most. Width and Depth are total guesses on my part, but I don't think it would be much bigger than that.

    Ok cool. I know I can fit that awning then (if those are the dimensions) inside the car. I will just have to recline the passenger seat all the way. I have moving blankets so I can wrap it to protect the leather upholstery.

    I could also wrap the bumper with a moving blanket and let it hang out of the trunk. In my car though, there are vents that allow air to move between the trunk and cabin. Exhaust fumes could be a problem but not if I ride with the windows down. If it rains that is a different issue. It's possible I can get both items in the front of the car with the seat down. Neither should smell funky.

    Well, we mainly need to get someone for me to hand it off to. Not sure who that will be.

    And I know there are no obligations when we agree to join the Express to help out. We do what we can, when we can. We just closed the pool and the grass has slowed down growing so for me this is prime Express season. Summers are much harder. I myself have used this service so I just want to give back. The irony is, I am in a position now where I could use some in between help for a deal I made just the other day. It's a swap so the other member and I are gonna work it out. The logistics are not perfect though.

    If I pick up the bumper on Columbus Day I can drive it up to Rob's house, no need to meet up in Baltimore, no need for Rob to worry about getting it home from his office.
    Of course this only works if Rob will be home that day or if he doesn't mind me leaving at his house.

    If I get it before Columbus Day I can meet up with Rob where every works best for him.

    Ok, I am just spitballin here but I am thinking that is not gonna fit in the trunk, unless it sticks out very far. My tail lights are in the rear fenders so no worry about that issue with the po po. The two together might fit in the cabin though. We will see.
