Altitude Dream Cars (Formerly known as Altitude Dream Machines) is finally slowly becoming a reality. I’m now working with Cloud 9 to act both as a consultant and with their affiliate program to secure proper insurance.

While those logistics are coming together, I can’t let any grass grow under my shoes. So, without further delay, I’ve secured two more cars. The thinking is that it’ll take 4 to 6 weeks to get the logistics of title and registration sorted out so that when it’s done, it’ll be about the time we can “soft” start.

Second new car, aside from the Elise, was a Yellow Hummer H2. I located this down in Dallas, my old stomping grounds. It was an executive program car with very few miles and it’s perfect for our rental business. I looked around here in Colorado, but nothing was this nice in both age, color and mileage. I’d like to do business locally, but it’s difficult with these kinds of cars.

Second car is the Mercedes CSL500. I also found this down in Dallas at an online reseller that has a phenomenal inventory of vehicles. The CLS model is very sporty, sexy, luxurious and seats four. It’ll be perfect for weddings, nights out and executives. An added bonus were the wheels and tire upgrades the previous owner did before trading the car in.

My plan now is to head down to Dallas and transport both cars up to Colorado at the same time. I’ve booked a U-Haul car trailer and will put the CLS on the trailer and use the Hummer to pull it up. Hopefully this will not be an issue for the H2. My motivation is to save money. I’ll be able to haul two cars for roughly what it’d cost me to haul 1. However, if I had them shipped, I’m saving almost 75%.

Now onto Chicago for training so I can get certified to start renting these babies out.
