Factors in support of driving:
1. Fun
2. Get to know car
Factors again driving:
1. Long way
2. Uncomfortable car on long trips
3. Likely no where you really want to see in betweem
4. Millions of rocks looking for your windshield, bumper, hood
5. Thousands of piece of junk (FOD) looking for your tires
6. Thousands of idiots trying to run into you
No.

Thanks rennlistuser. I guess a couple other factors, though, are that I'd save about $2,000 by driving it ($2,500 for enclosed shipping, minus about $500 in expenses to drive it), and avoid the risk, however small, of potential damage from the third-party shipping company or in transit.

Good Luck either way.........

Every person is different but I find the seats comfortable and the car soaks up the miles. Definitely louder than our E63 but more fun to drive If just 2 people you will have more than enough room between the frunk and the space in the rear.

Recently bought a 2013 991.1 Cab from a private seller in So. Fla. Also being in my early 60's and 6'6" tall, I had reservations about driving it back. I can tell you that at no point was my back sore, or was I ever cramped. The roughly 1300 mile trip that I split into 2 1/2 days was a great way for me to get acquainted with my new best friend. During my search, I was certain that I was driving back regardless of location.
Perhaps I was fortunate, but I had ZERO stone chips upon arriving back in Cleveland. The drive was pretty boring (70% being on I-77), but I did manage to get off the highway on several occasions. There is no way a carrier could have cost less than my lodging, food and fuel. The one downside was putting the mileage on the new P-Zero's which the seller had installed 2 days prior to my pickup.
I would do it again......and hopefully some day I can.
