Yeesh. I'd volunteer to assist. I may have developing arthritis in my cervical spine, but I'm far from decrepit just yet. But my current financial situation wouldn't allow for it. As it is, I'd need at least one car that I can be confident in making the trek north, but I've still got some work that needs to be done on that front. :(
