    Shipping my car?

    I was just seeing how much it would be to ship my rolla from boston to tampa area.. I'm considering relocating.... anyone know good reputable sites that do it for cheap? if not I might just have to make my sister drive it down for me and pay for her trip down and back up....

    I would drive it/pay someone to drive it. I've looked at shipping companies and most have bad raps (yes, even DAS) because they're generally not liable for anything that happens to the car. If you must go with a shipping company, I would:
    a) look for a company that owns and uses their own trucks
    b) find a company with a very good insurance policy (i.e. high coverage and decent deductables) in case of claims.
    c) never use a Broker! ( a broker is basically a contractor, you pay them to ship the car and they hire somone else to actually transport the car)
