Otherwise, you will pay $1,800 to ship your car and then someone will ram a shopping cart into it the next day.


I saw some youtuber go through a bunch of trouble to wrap his car all up in tape, buy a second set of rims, take off parts, etc to drive his car from chicago to florida when he moved.... He daily drove the car to work for years. Not sure what people think is going to be any different about one long drive vs several short ones. Miles are miles and you are just as likely to get a rock chip going to a car shows as you are driving to Texas.

Just giving OP an example. My friends '67 El Camino is a show car, and SJ to Austin is similar distance.
