I have read about making sure on shipping my car in an enclosed container during the boat trip to prevent salt water from getting to the car but never thought about the worker driving the f*ck out of the cars in the dock. i thought once you drop off your car that it would be shipped the same day.

yeah the insurance clause on all the shipping companies i have search have them liable for nothing if anything happens to the car. all have a clause that says it is not there fault for "Acts of God" i like WTF that means anything.

It all just depends on what company you go with. So far, Horizon's been pretty good to me and a few other i-Clubbers.

Man, I am telling you a 3K rpm limit is a MUST when handing the keys to your car over to shipping companies!
