Default This is what I left behind for the summer...

If any of you all read my other post about having to leave my car behind in VA for the summer to work here at LLNL, here's a link to it so you can feel my pain. My car was out of commission for 3 months while I was doing work on it and I only had a week to drive it after I did my engine swap before I had to leave Anyways, some of you wanted to see/hear it, so here's the link to the original thread I posted when I completed the swap...

Not a night goes by that I don't do the exact math calculations for car shipment from VA to CA.

Same predicament here. Got my car back in January and it sat at home teasing me while I was in North Carolina (doing military training)... got a small chance to use it during easter I was home for 3 days and broke it .. then I came home finally! in may and used her again.. Ooooh good. Then, Mid-may had to go back to CA where I am stationed.. car still sits in Illinois but I finally went through with it and dumped the 750 or whatever it was to get it shipped from IL to CA. Carmoves.com is who I have used shipping stuff every time, I like them. Usually they are the cheapest too but on this return trip they werent .. but I still trust them and like them. Took like 10 REAL days(They say 7 business days) to get my car to IL last time.

Good luck, I definately am feeling you. Especially when that 300$ car payment comes around and I still walk everywhere, haha.

Gilbert - Thanks for the compliments. Now you know can see/hear where I'm coming from

death - Yeaaa the walking just ain't cuttin it out here. I'm honestly not lying when I say i contemplate whether or not to ship it out here every day. Also, being that I just went to the GoodGuys show out here it didn't make me feel any better seeing everything else with their rides and I'm footin it. Makes me so mad
