I've become more and more interested in so-called "experimental travel" lately, and have a growing interest in delivering other peoples' cars as part of a driveaway service. The Auto Driveaway Company is apparently the largest driveaway company in the US with 80 offices nationwide. Here's a sample list of cars waiting to be delivered somewhere from NYC:

They have three 2006 Chrysler 300's waiting to be delivered to Florida! The Philly office has 3 cars that need to get to California as another example.
Has anyone done this before? Was it fun? A PITA? This company pays for the first tank of gas and takes a refundable $300 deposit for damage. They also specify the route to take and allow for 10% overage in mileage, but I read some guy's blog that says he's never been charged an overage fee in 14 drives -- including one time going 600 miles over! What do you guys think? I'm planning to go to Florida the week after Christmas, and may give it a shot just to try something new. I can always fly home if there's nothing coming back up this way (who goes from Florida TO New York in the winter anyway?)
EDIT: The national list shown here http://www.autodriveawaydc.com/carlist.html does not list those 2006 Chrysler 300's going from NY to Florida anymore
