Default Good point

How about ship it one way and drive it home...you are definitely entittled to some seat time.

I forgot you have those really sticky R888 on there. Trailer it both ways.

While I certainly agree that as a professional, you make sure you do the right thing by your sponsor. However, I'd like to see some data on passenger vehicle vs. trailer-towing vehicle accident rates in a given set of miles. Just because it's in a trailer doesn't make it safe.

Drive it...(defensively)

But I guess it worked out as good as it could have.
At least you got those SICK tires out of it!!!

Yea, the it would be ironic to trailer the car and have the trailer flip due to a blow out.. or a truck change lanes onto the trailer, or if you were backing the car off the trailer and a wheel went off the ramp, or if a tow strap broke loose and beat your car to death with the buckle.. or... lol

For a 200 mile trip it seems like overkill..

That exact thing happened to my Dad's 1964 Elky, hence my post. Luckily we were doing body and paint anyway.

As in Steve's case, the driver at fault had State Farm. I'm sure Steve doesn't have State Farm on Penny State Farm doesn't offer Agreed Value, only Stated Value. AND, there is a difference.
