Do you have any recommendations (good or bad) for cross country auto transport.
While over Thanksgiving holiday at my in-laws I picked up a '73 914. It runs but it needs too much work to drive it from Philadelphia to Orlando. I've never shipped a car before and what I've gathered is that these brokers (middlemen) hire the truckers, you pay a fee to the broker (deposit), and then hope the trucker is reputable. When the car arrives you then pay the trucker (in cash) yet the broker has no responsibility or liability. Any issues with the transport of the car have to be delt directly with the trucker. What could possibly go wrong? I'm a newbie. This is my first 914 and I'm looking forward to getting it. That said, any advice on where to start with making it road worthy? |

you Moron, this Thread is Two years Old, I think he probably got the car by now! You know, it's never hard to spot a guy who doesn't understand even the simplest idea of humor, or you're just a dick and can't help yourself to show everyone how much of a dick you are. I guess given the choice between being a moron or a dick, I would choose the former. I've met many like-able morons in my time, but I'm yet to meet a like-able dick. Nobody likes a dick.
