ps - dude with the masking tape to prevent paint chips - that was both funny and cool and thank you for reminding me that my psych team wants me to wear my safety helmet at all times. |

Maybe the weather will be better. Or just do your collectible thingy. I choose to drive my cars and enjoy them. But there is joy in collecting too, just different strokes for different folks. |

Drive it, unless you expect snow and sub 20 weather along the route.

Another factor in the decision for me would be the time. Two thousand miles is a long way. By the time you factor in the cost of a flight and take several days off work (assuming you aren't retired) you could have paid to have the car shipped. And if you are self employed like me, if you aren't working you are making money.

"collectible thingy"... Ok... Ya... If you don't choose to drive your car home on a 2000+ mile trip, it's now considered a collectable. Last edited by jamala00; 03-25-2023 at 10:44 AM. |

Ps to the OP. Have the dealer send you a pic of odometer and make sure no one drives. Make sure transport company knows you know miles. Also tell dealer you want another window sticker and they can order from GM so you will have 2. Good luck either route you go!! |

Definitely feel better with my ass asleep in the car compared to the car being transported. Seen some stories here of the underside damages transports did to some here. There is no wrong answer.

Just to add though... You do realize that every new car you purchase on a dealers lot was shipped... |

Yes and exactly why I would fly out and inspect. Hell, the tires could already have cracks in them between manufacture date and now.

I purchased mine in Denver and drove it to Austin in snow and rain.
I passed every gravel truck in the state of Oklahoma, almost lost it in the rain as the tires suck in the rain..... My son bought a 1LE from Indianapolis and shipped it ....no issues. So I say ship it!! |

OP ... What did you decide? Plenty of opinions , you haven't commented . I'm originally from Renton , If this car is a daily driver and knowing the weather up there, rain 9 months a year. Have the dealership put all season tires on , maybe they give you credit for the Goodyears.
And drive it ... Rain snow slop Isn't a factor on the drive home, it's like that as stated 3/4 of the year up there. Now if this is a good weather Car , Ship it ...
