I was wondering who wants to goto NSXPO in CA but does not want to drive their car thousands of miles to get there. The reason I ask is because I contacted a transport company and arranged a deal with them that seems reasonable, $550 each way from Florida to San Francisco. ($1100 round trip)
My biggest fear about having my NSX transported is having the car damaged while it’s being pulled on and off the truck which probably happens several times on a cross country trip as it the truck loads and unloads cars to pick up and deliver. But the advantage about this deal is we would be renting the entire truck. As long as we can get 10 cars together for one load.
So here is an example of how it would work.
-10 people throughout Florida get together and agree to split the cost of a truck.
-We meet at a central location at a certain date and time. For example Orlando, FL.
-The cars are all loaded at one time (the truck will bring equipment to accommodate lowered cars)
-The cars are delivered to a location and on a date that we decide on.
-The car carrier remains in San Francisco with us, when the event is over we load the cars back on and plan on picking them up a few days latter at our original location in Florida. Also since the carrier stays with us, if there is anyone who needs to leave early the could simply load the car back on the carrier on whatever day they were leaving.
-We could also arrange for multiple pick up’s and drop off’s lets say 2 people live in North Florida 4 people live in central Florida and 4 live in South Florida. We could set it up so the truck starts in South Florida and makes it way north picking up cars along the way. We just have to set up where cars do not have to be shuffled around.
The reason I am posting this in the General forum and not the southeast forum is because this is a nation wide company and there may be other groups in other parts of the US that want to take advantage of this as well. The price for Florida is 550 per car each way I assume the closer you get to CA the less expensive the price gets.
We may be able to get a better price if we get a few different trucks loaded in different parts of the country or maybe someone else here has an affiliation with a transport company.
Lastly I have no affiliation with this Company but I can tell you they are licensed, bonded and insured and I did use them on a NSX that I purchased in Chicago and had transported to Florida.

I would love to join in, but would have to bring my car down the weekend before the trip and leave it with someone (I will be checking the odometer!) as that is a hell of a long trip for me. Now if you make a pass through Atlanta, I am game.
