You're crazy if you let someone else drive your car. My cousin did that once, for one of those firms that hires people to drive someone's car across the country. I saw what he did to that Vette. Believe me, you don't want any part of that.

Even companies that use trailer transporters can be problematic. There's a story in today's news about how Nicholas Cage's Porsche speedster was stolen off a transporter and driven into a lake. Deal only with a company that's fully insured and has a good reputation. And it's gonna cost ya. You'd be better off buying a cheap airline ticket and driving it back yourself.

(Intercity Lines seems to have a pretty good rep, and I believe they use only closed transporters.)

Try 1800 7262693 If I am correct this is the number of the co. I used to transport my car from corpus christi, tx to Dallas. They used a closed container trailer to transport it. They did a real good job and it cost me a few hundred bucks. PM me if you have any questions.

Why let someone else drive the car or pay to have it transported?

Just get a super cheap airline ticket using Priceline.com, fly to where the car is, and enjoy the fun of driving it back to California.

WHOAH!

You just bought a RX-7 and you don't want to bond with it?

Man, You are crazy!

Get on a plane and go get your Rex!

The cross country drive will really help you to know your Rex.
