Default Auto Transport before and after the rally

Shipping back to the NJ area from Las Vegas is going to run $1500 if we can get 6 cars to commit. This is through Fedex Custom Critical, fully enclosed, insured up to $100k per vehicle, and the best auto transport I have ever used. We used them last year to move cars from NJ/VA to SLC, and they were flawless.

We are also looking at $1600 from LA to NY. This is also based on a 6 car commitment. I will be on-site at all 4 loading points to make sure everything goes as planned.

Please email chris@akarally.com if you are interested in locking this down for either route.

Thanks,

Chris

$1500 isn't bad at all.

That is a good hook up!

Is it safe to assume this is all taken care of?

Just spoke to Robbie, the truck has already dropped off our cars by Dulles Airport in Virginia. Not sure where it is headed next.

Robbie said the transport was even better then last year and this guy was handling everything like it was a 100k car.. Very impressed.

The second truck passed the first truck!!

350Z and GTR were first to be dropped. Tomorrow the Cayenne gets dropped in PA, then the M3 in NJ, then the RX8 in far north NY.

Second truck should be in PA tomorrow as well with the remaining 6 PA cars.

Yup. Thats Hal.

AWESOME guy. Took EXCELLENT of the cars and even picked up another unrelated vehicle in AZ. Man that first truck is SLOOOWWWWW!

FWIW...Hal said if he knew we wanted to race them he would've made sure he was here even faster...despite picking up another car in AZ. lol

Cayenne, M3, and RX-8 are in EXCELLENT hands. All have protective plastic under the top cars (M3 is on the bottom) to prevent anything from dripping or falling. Strapping was excellent and VERY well done with alot of care. I was more impressed than last years Fed Ex truck. This one has wireless lift controls too!

The RX8 is back in Cananda, Raags is sooooooooooooooo happy. It's the yearly "Hoser" Festival. Sasquatch is the grand marshal this year and Raags was letting him ride on top of the car for the annual parade.
