I just spoke with Intercity Van Lines. Basically, their enclosed trailers will hold 6 to 7 cars. We went through a hypothetical scenario wherein the NJ/NY/PA people would converge in one location, say Morristown, NJ. The trucking company would come to that location and load up the trailer with 6 to 7 of our cars all with the common destination of Chicago. The trailer would cost $2800 one way. Divide that by 6 and that is $467/person.
Now that would be the way to do this. No hassle, relatively cheap cost, fully insured up to $150K per car. If we arranged to use three trucks, NJ/NY, Florida and Cali, we could probably negotiate a lower cost.
This would eliminate people using the distance as an excuse not to attend.
THoughts?

Come on people, you have to give a little.
You can't just sit on your front porch and expect the party to come to you!!
You pick a neutral equidistant location to the masses of people that are likely to attend and everbody gives and everybody benefits. The transport will solve many problems but you still have to commit to the idea of meeting fellow turbo owners for some great talk, great driving and great experiences.
I have organized and attended several meets and the thrill of seeing and driving with the guys and ther cars is really great!

Rockitman: I was thinking of a party or something, not accommodations (in case that was what anyone was thinking). I do have a pretty big place in a nice neighborhood so everyone would be safe.
