Obviously you want to avoid letting this "gem" get rusty. That's the main thing, and is more important than any other consideration. You need to immediately transfer this vehicle to someone who lives in Arizona, where cars don't rust. You are responsible for it now, and you have to do the right thing, even if it is tough. By coincidence I live in Arizona and have sufficient space, so I will be willing to help you with this. Let me know when you will drop it off. I will be happy to cover your expenses for gas to get it here. Bill in the Southwest
