One general observation. The importance you place on comfort will change between your 20s and your 60s (remember the original poster?). I'm not 60 yet, but I'm closer to it than 20. If you don't know why I put such an emphasis on comfort, just wait. You'll find out.
Talk to gixer. He can not only draw the distinction, he expects everyone to recognize it without any explanation.
The two of you should get along well. Enjoy each other's company.
If you were on vacation with plenty of time or retired and merely messing around I'd say take plenty of time and enjoy the trip.
If the goal is to merely complete a move and do it in the shortest and easiet manner than I would say it's $600 wisely spent.
At 56 I ain't up to beating myself up ....My sister's company moved her back to West Palm Beach from Riverside a few years back and I think Mayflower was the mover and all went well...with both the auto and furniture.
She shipped me an old mercedes from Fl. using some fly-by-night auto movers and it turned out to be a nightmare...wasn't worth the few bucks she tried to save.

Yuk!!!! What'cha do that for??!! (Get an auto, that is!)
OK - all of those will definitely add substantially to your fuel consumption.
I haven't noticed that, but I definitely have noticed the fuel consumption going up when the top is down.
I get 420km without the warning light coming on yet. I suspect I'd get about
450km.
Good God no!!!
Honestly, why did you get an automatic?! I'm not being flippant, but did your motorbike crash do some damage to one of your legs? Have you ever driven a manual MX5? It's like night and day, and if you like the feeling of a motorbike you'll definitely prefer a manual over an automatic.
And you take your automatic on a track? The mind boggles...

Hi Eric,
Yea the bike crashed paralysed me left arm, Brachial Plexus injury mate. so an Auto it has to be.
:(
Oh well Leon, I suppose it's a good work out for me good arm. And it is very boring at work right now, and raining cats and dogs, so no extended fishing trips. :(
Mazda lists the drag coefficient as 0.38 top up and 0.42 top down, IIRC. How that would allow you to pull higher revs with top down is beyond me.
Leon
No idea mate, but I have noticed that top down windows up, consistently pulls higher revs in top gear, therefore faster top speed. Tried lights both up and down, but got no consistent results.
Hum.
Unlike the top, raising the lights can be done on the fly, and others here have reported a significant slow down if they raised their lights at high speed.
