vehicles. From NY to FL: I sold my Jeep in NY to a friend in NJ. I regretted it almost instantly, but the thought of driving a Wrangler down the entire east coast when gas was nearly $5/gal was not on my to-do list at the time (I was underfunded as well). I rented a giant Penske truck, loaded the jetskis and all my crap in it, drove it to FL alone. Flew back to NY and threw the Miata together in a few hours, then drove it straight down to FL, only shutting the car off when I was putting gas in it. From FL to NY: I bought a Corolla in FL from an uncle when I took the Miata apart again. When it was moving time, I gave that to a cousin that just started driving. I loaded all my crap, jetski (just one this time) and all, into another large Penske truck, drove straight out to TX by myself. Then my fiance and I flew back to FL as sort of a "meet the family" thing. I had to yet again put the Miata back together the morning we planned to drive it the 1200 or whatever miles. We took 2 days to drive it out here, making it a cheap mini vacation kind of thing. In your situation, I would keep the Z for sure. Trade the Civic for a cheap truck, you can get a fancy one later. Load the bikes in the cheap truck, drive it across the country. Fly back, drive the Z. Fly back and rent a moving truck for all your crap. Towing anything with anything will cost you almost as much in gas as it will to fly back (at least both times I looked into it), and you are stuck towing a trailer 3000 miles...which sucks.
