Yes I did.. I used Intercity to transport mine and the driver is very meticulous in every inch of the car before it's loaded.. He pointed out some spots that I would have never seen.

Related question: what do you all tip for good Rennlist advice? My rule of thumb is:

General advice: colored key inserts
Maintenance/repair advice: Porsche hard covered book
Car finding advice: HRE wheels (over $100k), sport exhaust (under $100k)

I tip when tipping is part of the persons normal compensation (waitstaff, bellman) or I receive exceptional service from someone who I'm also likely to use again.

Tipping a truck driver for showing up with your car as contracted qualifies as neither.

Thanks for the additional data points everybody (and for the philosophical explanations behind your decisions/positions to tip or not tip).

Take JoAnne's advice above. She's a class lady with more knowledge than most on Rennlist.
No problem, no apology needed. You were just trying to be helpful and went through the trouble of finding those old OT links (and summarizing them with your Cliff Notes too). I appreciate it!
