Depends on the length of the 2x12 & the length that your car can handle, an 8' high staircase will need at least a 12' length some use 14' for insurance...end splits & all (2x12's are fairly heavy & are not a good candidate to hang out the window ... have done it, but know that you could cause $$ damage to the window & door). You may be able to see if any of the forum members or your neighbors with trucks/trailers can help you get the wood (or maybe you can borrow someones trailer if you have a hitch)
