Aloha Oe....

Hey,

I dropped off my G at Kona Trans yesterday with a tear in my eye. She gets shipped out on Friday on Horizon out of Kawaihae to Long Beach then onto Ohio. Went with DAS and she will be covered all the way there...$2600 terminal to door and includes $20K insurance coverage. This is the shipping company ebay motors and classic car shows primarily use to ship cars worldwide.....

Now I'm driving a red Chevy Cavalier from Alamo. Talk about some low-end torque....

Anyway, I just need a hug......

I meet up with her again in early August......

I am renting a Dodge Charger from Dollar when I get to oHio though.... I am looking forward to that! Dollar replaced their taurus's and intrepid's with new Charger's...woohoo.

They (kona trans) looked over my G for existing scratches, rim scrapes, etc. and had me sign the pre-shipping damage report which BTW showed NO damage whatsoever. I think she was in awe of seeing such a pretty car (being there are only a handful of coupes on the BI).

Then, when I get the car, I look over for damage and can claim if I see anything that wasn't there or "reported" on the pre-ship evaluation. I took a $20K insurance policy with DAS just in case of body damage during shipping. The insurance policy for $20K was only an additional $200, well worth it I think.....

Well worth the extra $200 for shipping the pride and joy.... Hope it makes it to the destination in mint condition. Aloha.

best of luck in the Buckeye state... may your G be blessed with fair winds & following seas on its journey through the Pacific!
Just curious, do you have an opinion as far as Kaiser or HSMA being better?

wassup doc! sorry to hear you're moving but good luck in Ohio!
cavaliers, didn't they discontinue that and replace it with the "almost-as-ugly" Cobalt? hey, at least you didn't get stuck with a kia spectra! (i couldn't rent the G35 when I was in San Diego last month - sold out.)

just wondering, though... couldn't you upgrade (for free) to a bigger car or did they not have any? anyways, good luck!
