    Good day! I have an '87 TR just finishing up the 30 K service on the East Coast. Anyone out there have any advice of things I should be aware of before driving the car back to Texas??
    There were plans to ship the car but scheduling seems to be a real problem because of Barrett-Jackson et al. Darned if I'll sit and vegitate while incurring storage fees against an unknown shipping date!!
    So what do you experienced owners think, please?
    Regards,
    Nick L.

    I just sent you a PM with info on J. Peck's shipping company out of Dallas. He recently shipped a car for me from NJ in a very fast amount of time.

    Well, better sense has prevailed,plus a good steer to a transport biz by a good chap resulting in the decision to ship the car and let the TRAILER get abused by all sand and salt! Better safe than sorry!
