I'd definitely do it again.
In a way money was not the deciding factor for me. To get the deal done through a third party it would cost me money. Adding shipping to that I would be in the $2,000 range too. So I thought to myself, why not fly there ($200) and drive the Boxster back? It must be a hell of a drive and honestly a trip that I have no idea if I will ever be able to do again. So I decided to drive it. And what better way to get used to the car?
I am sure there will be no one on my ass during the trip considering the under the bumper flame throwers I got installed. That should do it.
