Default My brother recently sold his RS6 and the buyer arranged for transport since he's in the Pacific NW.

It kills me how someone would spend countless hours trying to find the perfect car, pay top dollar for that car and then have it transported 1700 miles on an open air commercial car carrier. Plus, who knows where that car is going as the driver told my brother the guy wouldn't see the car for 19 days.

I can only imagine the condition that car will be in from 1700+ miles of rocks, salt, sand, abuse and who knows what else. But then again, it's no longer my brother's problem.

Default Evil. The all black version of mine. He'll have fun keeping it clean. Drove it home in the

blizzard/snowstorm in Milwaukee yesterday so it was definitely baptism by fire. And yes, his is speed limited to 105 too.

That's how my 911 arrived. It's also how many band new cars arrive.

Brand new cars are wrapped in protection, depending on the quality level. This had none.

Default I know, but few used cars are. And covered tansport is damned expensive... as you know.

Did Press' 951 show up covered, or nekkid?

Default that's how my Porsche arrived as well, not all have the time....

to drive 1,700 miles just to pick up a car. Mine was shipped from Bradenton, had no interest in driving it home in the middle of summer.
