I have also used Intercity (VA to FL and return) with excellent service and
results. The drivers went out of their way to make sure my car was well
taken care of. On one occasion the driver unloaded the car so I could detail
it and then loaded it back on the truck until unloaded the next morning for
the show I was attending. the tip of the radio antenna got bent by the cover
they put over the car. I can honestly say that the driver and Intercity in
general were beside themselves and went out of the way to find me a
replacement part...including the driver, on his own, tracking down Norm
Miller via the web and asking him. Once a replacement was found they covered
all costs for replacement.
I looked into renting a trailer AND a truck to tow it...and at the end of
the day the few extra hundred dollars was worth it.

I've used Intercity Lines many times and they have always met or exceeded my
expectations, including one driver who checked and added antifreeze for me
on a couple cars in route from Texas to the Western NY in February. I've
also used Reliable Carriers with good result, though they switched trucks
and drivers in route without letting me know in advance.

Steve,
I've shipped several cars over the past eight years, each one using Passport
Transport. They use only enclosed trailers and do not transfer your car to
other trailers/trucks once it is loaded. Definitely not the cheapest but
reliable and safe. They were part of FedEx the last time I checked, and I
remember seeing discount coupons in places like Hemmings and on Hagerty's
site.

Hello Sunbeamers:
Well, I'm Sunbeamless, having sold my Tiger last summer. And I'm Roootesless
for the first time in probably 35 years or so. Hopefully I'll get into one
again.
In the meantime, I've bought a nice 1985 Mazda RX7 GSL-SE, the last year of
the original style RX7 and the top of the line model. No Tiger horsepower
but
pretty zippy. Supposedly 7.6 seconds to 8 seconds (depending on the review)
0-60. Way faster than any of the Alpines I've owned through the years
anyway.
Does anyone have any car shipping company experience/suggestions? I need to
get it from northern California to near Tucson, Arizona where I am. I filled
out an on line car shipping quote request form and I got literally more than
20 quotes, ranging from $525 low (cheap) and all the way up to almost $1,000
(ridiculous), all in an open carrier truck.
Naturally I want to pay the least but don't want to wait a long time to get
the car picked up.
So, any company recommendation where you've had a car shipped yourself would
be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Steve Sage
