Did you drive your Box down there, or ship it? If the latter (if you don't mind me asking), what did they charge, and who shipped it?

Gary is driving down, dropping off the car on Monday then going home Wednesday after we complete the work and test the engine..
Lots of people are choosing this alternative instead of shipping, especially with our area being so beautiful this time of year!

Shipping cars isn't really a big deal, especially in this economy. Given the fact that most car haulers are hungry for work, it's extremely affordable right now. We have plenty of cars that show up and leave on transports.
We're going to have several cars coming and going this winter for IMS updates.

Shipping isn't that big of a deal... BUT some people would rather make a trip of it and see the facility/ meet us and etc.

Hmmm...bit of a drive from Chicago. I'd really like my local independent to start work on these...he's been building air cooled engines forever and does a lot of work on "modern" cup cars.

Considering the fact that I have an engine here that was shipped to me from Russia for full internal updates; you guys are local!!

We all welcome friendly visits from out of town customers.
More on topic, we should have the motor out of this S next week, and we'll see how bad it looks. Had a talk with the driver of the transport who delivered the car to us, and apparently the previous owners would not stop complaining to the driver about how pissed off they were at Porsche!
