Nomad, hope you didn't venture up to Ohio and are attempting to bring you Box home this w/e. That was 1 bad a$$ storm rollin thru your prime drive area. Should have some fun stories if you did go. Keep us informed, we're pullin for ya.

He may have some pics for us, similar to yours on the right, but without the "hidden" driveway!
Let's hope not and we're all pullin for him.

One more vote for drive it. I bought my 2007 in Atlanta in February of 2009 and drove it back to Chicago. There was a nasty ice storm in southern Illinois earlier that week, but the Interstate was clean and dry a day later.

Drive it. I live in Toronto and flew to Ottawa to buy my Boxster. The 5 hour drive home was great and something I will never forget.

I elected to ship it. Should be being picked up sometime next week and be here the week after. It's cold in Austin today, glad I'm not driving cross country.

Because of the time of year, I think that was a wise choice. I'm sure you can't wait for it to arrive. :dance:

Hopefully your shipping wasn't more than $500. That is what the quotes were to ship my Hummer from Dallas to Denver and I paid $400 to ship a Miata from Phoenix to Dallas

Enjoy the new car!

Considering the severity of the last several winters, I think it was a wise move to ship.
Can't wait to hear your stories about learning to love the car on those great Hill Country roads!!

BTW, have you heard Hill Country Girl by Kevin Welch?
