I wanted to take a quick second in advance to thank Indy GT for doing the legwork on getting together shipping quotes and getting us a great deal on shipping with Passport Transport. At least for me, the pricing Indy managed to get was the difference between shipping the car and lugging it out in the trailer. As it is, we'll have 6 cars leaving together from The GT Guys garage. I talked to our rep for the group today and it appears that we've got 3 completely full trucks of GTs, as well as 4 additional trucks towing 3-4 GTs, bringing in cars from all across the country to Sonoma and Rally 8. They've been more than accommodating and have bumped up the insurance on all their carriers just to be safe with the rise in GT values. It's also been quite the exercise in logistics sorting out how to get one carrier to ship nearly 30 cars out of various locations in various states, and they've been on the ball dealing with us the whole time.

If anyone was on the fence and needed to hitch a ride, it might still be worth making a call to Darin Allee or emailing darin@passporttransport.com. 1-800-325-4267 ext 4942 :cheers

Bill spent a LOT of time doing this. He doesn't know how to use a spreadsheet or text messaging, so you see how hard he had to work. Lots of broken pencils and yellow pads.

Labor of love guys and thanks!
Just trying to help out the ownership ranks and get everyone together in California.
The management of Passport has fully embraced this spectacular opportunity for them by working with us so well.
A win-win for all!:thumbsup

Car loaded yesterday and on its way. Didn't get the 24 hour notice (3 hours) but it worked out. They have a web site where you can track truck movement to delivery.

Blue Moose and I are having our GT's picked up by Passport on Monday. Their quote was the best by far.

Just had my car and Andy's picked up by Passport.I must say of all the transport companies we have used they are clearly the most professional .Not only that the equipment was all 1st rate .One thing I always look at is scrapes on the trailer,missing side markers and the condition of the tie downs.All perfect!
The Viper graphics looked pretty cool too! As long as my Gt doesn't get transformed in to a Viper I'm all set!
Nice job DBK!

My pickup was moved to Monday which is fine with me. Driver is Dave and have spoken to him several times since he was dispatched. Things seem fine.
