thanks guys for all the support. This was really a tough decision I had to make about starting another project.

So I just got more good news this morning. I opened my email to find out that the shipping company already came and picked the car up last nite around 8 or 9 pm. Not only that, but I was told by the seller that the truck was a modern type enclosed trailer (I only paid for an open trailer).

I shipped the car via Express Auto Transport I would definitely recommend this shipping company. I checked them out on the web via the Better Business Bureau, Safesys.org (Govt Trucking Website) & also on Epinions.com before making a decision.

This gets me thinking, maybe we should start a sticky thread with a list of recommended auto shippers since most of us are always buying or selling cars over the internet.

very cool. you might want to hold that recommendation though until they deliver the car. i love it when things fall in your lap like that.

What Zen said. I'm sure that there will be many stops and maybe even a transfer along the way. Its cool knowing it is on the way. I bet you have the tracking web site in your favorites (It's in Reno, It's in Vegas, It's in Flagstaff, It's in Dallas)

thats true about holding off on the recommendation. But usually what most peoples bad experiences with shipping companies is usually false promises about pickups & deliveries.

Your promised that they will pick in up in a certain number of days, but it may take a few weeks or even months. Or you are promised a certain delivery day and it sits in a teriminal for a few weeks before it is transferred to another truck.

So far this company promised pickup in 7 days or less and it only took less then 1 day to pick it up. I was also told it would take 10 to 14 days for delivery, so we'll see how they do on that.

The part I was really surprised about, was them picking it up in an enclosed trailer when I only paid for an open trailer. I guess I just got lucky on that one.

I talked with the shipping company today & also talked with the Driver on his cell phone. He will be here either Sunday Nite or Monday sometime with my new Fasty.

All I can say is sweet!
