Agreed, in long term training a car is your ticket to continued sanity. I have taken my car to all of my long term training events except for sims in Charlotte one time. I can tell you even not having a car for sims was horrible, I can't imagine being stuck in the hotel for all of ground too. I might even go so far as say, drive your car to memphis and drive it to minneapolis and then back down to memphis, that's how much I think it helps retain your quality of life....
