When I registered for VOI 9, I also filled out the form for "Reliable" to ship my car.....If you guys are not using them for shipping, who are you using? Is it cheaper?
If you you need another spot filled let me know.
I spoke to "Reliable" And if they have enough cars from the Island, then a pick up would be arranged somewhere about the Nassau/Suffolk line....depends where most owners lived. And that price is about $3000.00 round trip..Im sure you checked...But anyway let me know what you have in mind.....Thx

BTDT. I drove one-way from Boston to LV and beyond to SF and LA. 21 days and 6500 miles later, I had 0 tickets after being stopped 3 times mainly to check out the car. I've never used radar detectors.
I recommend doing side trips in the Grand Circle (Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona). They have lots of road accessible national park drives with scenic lookouts (and I mean stunning scenery). Staying on the highways for 2800 miles (even if it's a Viper convoy) will be a grand shame (sorry). If you don't have enough time, it's worth driving one-way and shipping the other.
Enjoy!

Well....My last post was only a joke....No disrepect to my brother "Enthusiasts" who prefer to drive .. .. "If" I had the time I would drive..and who knows...I might hit lotto by then and not have to work anymore..But it will be my busy season at work and shipping is the only way that I'll be able to attend the event "and" have my car.......
So I'm in for the $2700.00 round trip...It was $3000.00 for "Reliable" and that was the base price for the region....Having to pick up on LI might inccur more $$ if not enough cars in this area.

reliable wants $3k for each car round trip. need to make a few more phone calls. cars will be picked up in the old brookville areas and dropped off in the same spot. $16k CASH sounds expensive for one truck, one driver for a week.

Isnt 3K x 6cars = 18K??.. ...We're in the wrong business!!

Not to hijack this thread, but if you're getting into town early on Sunday keep the Nevada Region Barbeque at Sheri's Ranch in mind. We'd love to have as many of you out of towners show up as possible. See you at VOI.

D, I drove Charlie's car to Calif. and Fla. a few times (of coarse it doesn't indicate that on his speedo) for www.hotrod.com pour tour. It took 3 1/2 days to Vegas. Not pushing it. It's 2500 miles NY to Vages. 3 1/2 days, 715 miles a day, at "65 mph", 11 hours a day driving. Straight west on route 80. Stopped for gas, left a leak, got something to eat, and ate in car. As Mike www.snakepitperformance.com mentioned, I got 21 mpg when I drove back from Dallas, WITH the PAXTON blower. Soooooooo, 2500 miles, at 21 mpg, for say, 2.80 a gal. = $325. gas plus tax and lodging. Dam tax.

Yes. We'll be outside with the cars parked on the lawn around the pool. We are working on securing use of the pool and the volleyball courts. We've had this event the last two years and each year we have improved it. This year we've already started working with the GM to make it the best yet.
