Thanks Gang for all the well wishes...

Yea, I would never recommend Reliable Again. I wouldn't have had certain expectations had the person I spoke with at their west coast office not said "Once we pick up the car it's generally 7-10 days to get it to you. 10 days would be rare." So my expectations were set by them. Then I found out it was shipped to Michigan and then when I got the car, it didn't have a mark on it, but there were pine needles collected on the windshield cowel. Took 19 days to get it to me and lack of communication.

It's not like this will be the last car I have shipped, or the first or only time I have ever shipped or received a car... I just know not to use them again.

That's odd. I've not only had great experiences with Reliable Carriers, but also heard many good things about them. Several OEMs use them for their concept and show cars, so I'm surprised to hear of you situation. It IS weird that there were pine needles on the car, as Reliable Carriers uses enclosed trailers. Perhaps there was a mistake with the designation or paperwork with your shipment. Either way, I'm just happy for you that you got your GT3! Enjoy her in good health, she's gorgeous!

Thanks gang... DBV, I know, that's why I went with them... Placed the order.. Camarillo Ca. to Spotsylvania Va. Talked on the phone, had confirmation that the car would "most likely" be picked up on Monday... Thursday ended up being the day... Called the following Monday and it was in "Michigan" waiting for more cars to complete the load.

Hey, I'm moving on. Just glad I finally have the car and am enjoying it. AND got notice today that our home qualifies for refinancing at about 3% less than what we locked in at 6 years ago (and then went upside down on) so I'm a happy boy all around. Looking forward to driving this car for a very long time...Kept the 996TT for nearly 5 years... Expect to double, if not quadruple that run...

996 GT3 is such a rare sight now. love the car. had it exactly the same color combo except with PCCB. the hollow sound on the roof & when closing the doors are priceless. great car!

Going to use this for my street/weekend car. I have a clearbra and detail scheduled for the 24th of this month, and the Dension is being shipped today. I also ordered a set of Sumitumo HTRZ3s for it... I just want to use this as my weekend ride for now. The Datsun is getting 100% of my attention for the track... It's STUPID fast...
