Default Another shipping question...

I want to bring my car up from Lansing, MI - any recommendations on a carrier? I may just rent a UHaul, but I'm hoping for an easier way

TFX International all the way. Many of us have used them. Fully enclosed. I believe they are/were official transporter for Ferrari in Canada.

Which car are you bringing up?

If Anita is immigrating, it may be time for that ice cream run!

Yes, it is finally time to bring her home. We rented for the first year and there was no place to park the car. We bought a house last Nov. and now have a large driveway and (ramshackle) garage.

just driving it over would have been just sooo much easier .. i think that car is RIV exempt but you will have to go through the import process which can be a bit of a pain

I actually don't have to import it yet as we don't have PR status. We're here on a work permit and the cars are still registered in MI.

if turbo is toast, it should still drive. or have the turbo changed and then drive it back. or rent a trailer from uhaul. or better yet use caa or to you AAA.

I usually just rent a full size GMC SUV from Hertz or Avis $69, drive to Uhaul insert my hitch and rent a car transporter $50. You can do it in a day and 3 tanks of gas
