Re: [DML] Re: Tow Dolly v. Car Carrier

When I purchased my DeLorean, I had to have it shipped from San Franscisco CA 
to Detroit. I had found it on the DML for sale actually and I purchased it 
sight unseen with pictures and a little help from list member Ken Montgomery. 
I had it shipped over using a classic and exotic car transport carrier. The 
price was reasonable, around 500 dollars or so, and the car only took a few 
days to get to my house. Id much rather spend the 500 to have it shipped than 
spend a ton of money on gas to drive out there, drive back, and lose nearly a 
week in driving. But theres also a lot of distance between CA and MI.

I have also had experience with full car trailors. I have rented them going 
to Ken's show in June, when I moved to TX, and also to have it worked on when 
I didnt have working brakes and couldnt drive it alone.

The full car trailor was easy to use. I just drove the D up on the platform, 
strapped it on (takes about 3 or 4 mins to do) and drove. The guy at U-Haul 
helped me out with attatching the trailor to my hitch on my Expedition even 
though I could have done it alone. I think in all it was about $50.00 for the 
day.

In the end if you are considering trailoring your D, Id reccomend going with 
the full car trailor. Its only a little bit more to rent and if you truly 
love your DeLorean and want to take care of it, its really the best way to go.

Just my 2 cents.
