Don’t let your car get crushed by a robotic dinosaur–ship it with Nationwide!

We rarely think of dinosaurs as being a threat to our cars nowadays, but this video proves otherwise. Apparently “Transaurus” is a “power monster” created to clear an island of mutants. Or something like that.

The victimized automobile in the video is described as a “junk car.” Hmm. It looks like a fairly viable vehicle to me. How can you be sure that Transaurus won’t consider your car a junk car at some point in the future?

I won’t say that your car will definitely be eaten by a gigantic robotic dinosaur if you don’t ship it with Nationwide. It’s highly unlikely. I will say, however, that your car will never be eaten by a gigantic robotic dinosaur IF you ship it with Nationwide!

After all, we pamper your car like nobody’s business because it’s our business: getting your car anywhere in the 48 contiguous states quickly and safely.

To save time and money, ship your car with Nationwide!
Do you want to stay in a motel a bunch of nights and pay a ton of money for that? No! Ship your car with Nationwide instead!
Do you want to pay a ton of money for gas shipping your car across the country? Heck no! Ship that car with Nationwide!
Do you want to spend a bunch extra on food on the road? No way! Ship your car with Nationwide!

So that about covers it–time, lodgings, gas, and food–now it’s time to see what the grand total of a trip from New York to LA is! There were a variety of different options in a few of the posts, so I figured out the range of what you’d have to pay: $659.28 – $4061.21!

The minimum amount assumes you are paid minimum wage ($232.00), stay at Motel 6 ($202.36), own a Prius ($190.07), and eat junk food the whole trip ($34.85). In other words, this is the most conservative figure possible! And that doesn’t take into consideration the fatigue and boredom of being on the road for five days!

The cost on top of the hassle makes driving from New York to LA a fool’s errand! That’s why the most logical thing to do is ship your car with Nationwide!

So, when you get your quote from Nationwide for shipping your car from NY to LA and think, “Wow, that’s really reasonable!” remember that you’re not comparing that figure with $0.00 for driving by yourself. No, you’re comparing that figure with at least $659.28–probably much more. It is only when this comparison is made that the truly incredible value of Nationwide car shipping is revealed!

The best part of road trips for me as a kid was getting to eat out all the time. And my very all-time favorite restaurant to eat at was Cracker Barrel! Of course, this was before I had to worry about trip expenses.

Now that I’ve grown up, the prospect of eating out on road trips comes with the drawback of having to pay for it. Especially if you’re driving from New York to LA, eating out can get pretty pricey! The price will vary depending on where you stop to eat, so I’ve looked at a few different methods.

The first is the Cracker Barrel method of eating good food for a low price–typically under $10. If you ate at Cracker Barrel the entire trip–we’re assuming it’s a five day journey–that means your food expense is $150 or less.

The second is the junk food pit stop method, eating at fast food restaurants the whole way. You can get a McDonald’s #1 Big Mac, drink, and medium fries for $4.99. That means a five-day diet of the junk food pit stop method comes out to around $74.85.

The last is a combination of the two. If you split your meals with half of the mouth-watering Cracker Barrel method and half of the greasy junk food pit stop method, the cost is somewhere around $112.43.

Now, even if you weren’t driving from New York to LA, you’d still have to pay for your meals. Let’s say you pay $40 for five days worth of groceries. So we have to subtract that amount from each of our methods to find how much the extra travel food cost is. The Cracker Barrel method comes out to be $110. The junk food pit stop method is down to $34.85. And the combo method calculates to be $72.43.

Although, if you eat all of your meals at Cracker Barrel anyway, then this extra cost does not apply to you!
