I need a car for this summer (although would like to keep it for a few years). I will need to drive cross country a couple times,once from Michigan to Massachusetts and back, then to California, where I’ll be for the summer, and back to Michigan. I would need to carry an 8 ft x 1ft Diameter rod from MI to MA, and then move for the summer to CA (without the rod, but with most of my belongings, which have fit in a Sentra before). Note that this rod does fit in a small uhaul trailer and weighs less than 100 pounds, so if it can take a hitch that is ok. My budget is around 10k, does anyone have any ideas?
