[DeTomaso] Shipping Companies

[Charles McCall]

One more person in agreement. 

Why not? You'll probably spend less money, have less worries about how it is
being handled, and I promise you'll learn more about your car in a
cross-country drive than you will in 5 years of Donut Derelicts. 

You'll learn what works well and what doesn't, how it handles, what, if
anything, will need to be addressed. 

But best of all, you'll have an adventure, memories that you can tell your
friends about, and you'll be enjoying your car. 

There are Forum people all along the route for support, and in the era of
the cellphone, 3G internet, and all the rest you will never be completely on
your own...

I'm with you Asa.  When I bought my car in Chicago I drove it back to OK in
one day even though the previous owner had never driven it over 75 miles
from his home.  In addition I was on the original Arriva tires, had no spare
and the gas gauge didn't work.

I had a cell phone and a credit card so what could go wrong?  It was an
adventure even though I never drove over 60 mph.

The question begs to be asked. . .
. . . why not just drive it home?
