Default Looking for enclosed transport service

Just like the title says, Im trying to find a transport service to ship a car from Cali to atlanta. I've tried intercity but they can't ship for another 2 weeks and I'm trying to get something to have it here by Friday. Let me know if you guys have some good recommendations for an enclosed transport cross country

I've used Exotic Car Transport a couple times and Intercity a few times. Happy with both, but clearly Intercity is not good for your needs this week.

There are a few operators that advertise in the magazines -- you could try the back of Excellence. I know someone who used Fedex and that apparently worked out well, if perhaps not rock bottom pricing. You could check with a trusted Porsche dealer to see what company they use at short notice -- they might also coordinate logistics and get a better price.

I've had good luck with FedEx Custom Critical. Intercity recommended them last time when they couldn't meet my need.

Fly out and drive her home. I will pick you up in my 997TT cab and then we grab Cort and going ripping through the canyons. Seeing you bought his CLK black he should let you drive the 722! I would like to see how the 722 keeps up with the CGT!

Mike, time to spill the beans already!!

Did you get a GT2RS???
C'mon tell us!

Intercity is the only one I've used. I think they are the ones shipping in the GT cars fro Porsche from the ports.
