The Audi is pickled for long-term storage in my enclosed race car hauler. The cost of renting a car for the trip is less to me than the hassle of pulling it out and re-pickling it when I get home.
My DW's Kia Niro EV has ~260 miles of range and would probably do fine for this trip...except that it's still in COVID quarantine after being exposed to an infected friend last week.
Surely a first-world problem that I won't drive a truck without a working AC unit, when the pioneers traveled west for longer trips than I'm making with horse-drawn wagons and no AC or even a breeze from an open window.....
