So we're going to try a stickied ride share thread for this PAX. Here's hoping it's helpful. It's going to look a lot like the room share thread

Do not use this thread for discussion. Also, do not re-post your request over and over.
ONLY POSTS IN THE DESCRIBED FORMATS BELOW WILL BE ALLOWED.
If you're driving to PAX and are looking to fill your vehicle (for company or gas money or what have you) or you need a ride to or from PAX and would rather take this route than the bus, this is the place to post about it.
If you have ride space and want to fill it, use this format:

Additional Notes/Requests:
'06 Crown Vic Police Interceptor, but it runs on Gas and Propane, so it's not crazy expensive. Plus it's comfy.
I like driving so if you're not interested in doing any (or don't have a license), that's fine with me. It's an 8-10 hour ride, so there will be some pit-stops on the way, but nothing unnecessary. One note is that my car can't go in MA tunnels so if you need dropped off at a hotel near PAX (probably?) then we'll be taking a detour through downtown (I've done it before and I'm fine with that). Lots of trunk space and a tow bar if you're crazy.
We're going through the border so you will need to make sure you have a valid passport and that you may enter the USA (duh!). One rule: If you made the CBSA's naughty list (you'd know), then that'd be a no, sorry.

OFFERING RIDES / NEED A RIDE:
(I'm flexible. Whatever works so we share gas and possibly driving duty.)
Directions Available: BOTH TO AND FROM PAX.
General Place of Origin: Detroit metro area, MI.
Date Leaving Origin Point: Thursday evening, March 21.
Planned Route to Boston: Flexible. My shortest route is through Ontario (London, Hamilton) and New York (Buffalo, Albany). However, if it means sharing fuel costs, I can go through Ohio instead (Toledo, Cleveland), and skip Buffalo. Or I can even go through the middle of Pennsylvania instead, and skip most of New York except for the New York City area. If we go through Canada, you obviously need your passport or enhanced ID.
Date Leaving Boston: Monday morning, March 25.
Planned Route to Origin: Right back the way we came.
Number of Spots Available: 3.
Estimated Cost: Percentage of fuel. It looks like it will be just shy of $300 round-trip for the whole car, give or take, plus possible tolls. However if I go through New York and/or Pennsylvania, it will be slightly higher.
My Gender: Male.
Your Gender: Male or female, doesn't matter.
Best Contact Method: email: joshuad84@gmail.com
Additional Notes/Requests: If I end up giving rides, it would be very nice if you were able to legally drive, so we could switch if necessary (i.e. I get sleepy or stir-crazy.) Also, if I give rides, each person is expected to split the cost evenly, so I don't have to work out crazy percentages because you're closer than the Detroit area.
