Need help with shipping the G!
#16
Don't get me wrong, I love driving this car. It's just that I can't really plan this to be a sight-seeing trip. Plus I'm gonna be by myself the whole way.
Uhaul is a good idea as well, but I don't plan to move anything other than my cloths and personal items.
This is gonna be one tough decision to make!

Ship It
Just my opinion.... I would ship the car. when i bought my G it came from Atlanta to Ny. the shipping was around $500 it came on a huge trailer sitting on the top row of an open trailer, No dings, no scratches, etc.... the process is pretty easy they come pick up the car then they fill out a sheet showing u all the little marks u have on ur car before it leaves. they load it up and they are off. no hassle of driving no added mileage, i mean 2400 miles is not a drive around town. But back to the point. When the car arrives they will do a final inspection and you can compare it to the original inspection that was done prior to the car leaving. You pay the guy and there you have your un-driven G with no added wear and tear.
Now this open, closed trailer situation is over rated, no matter what option you choose the trucks are insured and thats why they do an inspection. if any thing happens to your car they pay, you sign the inspection sheet and thats your contract.
I used these guys to pick my car up, they did a good job and there pricing was great came on a HUGE truck with no damages @ all.

I used L. Hansen's Forwarding to ship my car from the states. I don't know if they're the cheapest, but they know what they're doing (especially importing/exporting vehicles across the border), and they're reliable and fast.

And indeed, the Canadian economy will welcome me with a 19.1% tax on my G!!
Gotta love these governments!

Don't be a puss.
I rode my MOTORCYCLE from Los Angeles, CA to Buffalo, NY last year. Then went down the east coast and all the way back to California.
Over 7500+ miles on a motorcycle. No cruise control, no A/C, no heated seats, etc.
If I can do that, doing it in a car is a piece of cake.
It's not about the destination, it's about the journey.
Make something memorable out of it.
