[Shotimes] [OT] Car shipping suggestions

[Bill Murray]

Shipping cars like this is common with the car stereo competition crowd
for their finals competition which happens in the fall.  www.iasca.com
or www.usaci.com might have some information listed, or you might try
and get in contact with the leaders of those groups and see if they have
any info or know of someone who might.  Those are 2 of the governing
bodies.  Guys that compete spend lots of money on their cars and
stereos, but I doubt they'd want to pay $2,000 to have their car sent to
where ever finals are that year.

I talked to about three companies, and they all quoted near 
$2000 PER CAR!  We did some quick math, and with the fuel, 
and about a week and a half (four days of dead time for the 
driver, tough to find something to do for half a week!) and 
permits needed for CA if the truck originates somewhere 
else, even if you owned the truck, and drove for free, it 
would be tough to do for 3-400 per car.

My son is a pro driver, so he is looking into renting a rig 
and taking a vacation and driving it out for us.

If you can find somebody that will do it for 300 to 600 per 
car, that would be great.  We already have 6 or 7 cars that 
can be picked up at one spot in Illinois and dropped off at 
one spot.  Ben Bentley's place (he still has to get 
permission from his boss to park the cars for a couple of 
days on their lot) but that should reduce the cost.  Figure 
from Mendota, IL (or LaSalle, nearest bigger town) for 
miles.  Let me know.
