wow thats all bad! Maybe it was a really long transport so they had to switch trucks half way? i definitely made sure that this company was legit. They said 5-6 days max and the car does not leave the truck so its going to be the same guy who picks it up and drops it off.

Bimmer-Pilot · 07-11-2010, 01:12 AM

I'm sure your car will be fine cars are picked up every day....But the bottom gets it..

The company i used is Global Relogistic. The name on the truck was So Cal Transport I believe. Just call Global and get yourself a quote and ask a few questions. You give them a two day window and they will call you on one of those days, hours before they stop by. Good luck with NY!!

Hope your car has a safe trip.

I would have painters taped the front end and made a road trip out of it.

Yay-Z · 07-11-2010, 01:30 PM

Make sure you come out for cars and coffee, plus our regular drives. You'll have fun down here. Also UH alum. Midtown and rice village are areas for good nightlife. But I trust you'll be spending your nights studying hard

Dackelone · 07-11-2010, 01:40 PM

To each his own, OP. I am sure your car will arrive safely. And if not... that is what insurance is for.

For me, I am always up for a good road trip! What is that saying... it is not getting to your destination but the drive along the way! That is how I feel. There is nothing finer than a good road trip and the memories, good, bad and teh ugly ones!

ibeclueless · 07-11-2010, 09:53 PM
