      When the harm you cause by flying just isn’t enough, so you start bringing 2 tons of luggage with you.

      There are trains where you can check your car… the Auto-train between DC and Florida is one example.

        I know just like I know I can air cargo my car but the idea of the clerk asking if I’ll be checking anything and replying with something like yea my VW makes me smile.

          Less than airlifting a 2-tonne car, I’ll wager
