+1 on driving rather than shipping. It'll be a memorable experience in your GT3!

Drive it. You only live once. Wish I had kept my RS and just driven the wheels off of it.

Leave it in LA. Our Chicago weather sucks right now and we have salt everywhere.

Looks like it's going to have to be Drive... Might have to come to that conclusion regardless, but at least now I feel better about it. Thx for the moral support.. HaHa.. it's only 2k miles, not like the cars ruined.

Good luck and have fun. Give us a report out after you arrive. There has been lots of discussion about GT3's as daily drivers. It will be great to hear what you think after a long trip. Welcome to Chicago.

If you haven't already made up your mind, I day ship it. That kind of driving sucks, and roads are icy and snowy. Tail of the dragon has snow even that far south by the way...

Lots of good input.. Probably Leave Monday A.M. I'll try and get my go pro mounted and get some posted to You Tube as I go. I'm excited about it. If it's bad weather in Chicago, I'll just stay South for a bit.. It will clear.

Rarely... It does at times, yes, but it usually clears quickly and only snows a couple times a year there. Let the man drive! :-)

I've never regretted a good road trip. Drive! Send lots of pictures.
