As almost everyone on here knows.... I cant wait to own my own s2000....as long as it isnt silver sorry! but i have wondered if i do find a s2k for a good price around 300-600 miles away from here... is there anyway for me to get the car shipped over to where i am at?? i would appreciate your opinions, etc. I just dont wanna automatically put 600 miles on my s2k before i even get it hope... .i hope you all understand

thanks,

get it home sorry*

 

most shipping comapines will deliver for slightly less than a dollar a mile

 

oh thats a lot of money haha thanks

 

So buy a one-way ticket for about $100 on an airline, fly out there, and drive it back home. If it's a new car, it will be a good break-in for it. If it's a used car, what does 300-600 miles matter on it?

 

well i guess i could be uncomfortable for 300-600 miles with my father in the passenger seat....have to take a w/e out of my life to do it though

haha 1400 miles WHOAH seriously i dunno if i could do that your a soulier in my book.... i might try that but you know

 

United Parcel Service would be good. You get a tracking number.
FedEx also gives you a tracking number. You'd save a bit of money by choosing FedExGround instead of overnight air.
The U.S. Post Office is a traditional choice, but I think most people have questions about anything the government has a hand in.
Uhaul rents car trailers to go with their trucks.
Train is pretty good too if you can get the right beginning and ending points.
Where do you live? You might try a cargo container and choose a sea route.
Honda uses a combination of car-carrier-truck and sea-going car carrying ships. I think that's what they do. They might build each car at the individual car dealers, but I'm pretty sure they centralize their assembly at a few factories around the world.
You could hire four or six clydesdales and hitch them to the car and have them pull it back.
Aren't you glad you asked?

Oh yeah. My favorite would be to fax it home. Or you could download it from KaZaa.


You could take the car apart, for that matter, and backpack it home piece by piece, kind of like Johnny Cash's song "One Piece At A Time."

Well, I left Kentucky back in '49
An' went to Detroit workin' on a 'sembly line
The first year they had me puttin' wheels on cadillacs

Every day I'd watch them beauties roll by
And sometimes I'd hang my head and cry
'Cause I always wanted me one that was long and black.

One day I devised myself a plan
That should be the envy of most any man
I'd sneak it out of there in a lunchbox in my hand
Now gettin' caught meant gettin' fired
But I figured I'd have it all by the time I retired
I'd have me a car worth at least a hundred grand.

CHORUS
I'd get it one piece at a time
And it wouldn't cost me a dime
You'll know it's me when I come through your town
I'm gonna ride around in style
I'm gonna drive everybody wild
'Cause I'll have the only one there is a round.

So the very next day when I punched in
With my big lunchbox and with help from my friends
I left that day with a lunch box full of gears
Now, I never considered myself a thief
GM wouldn't miss just one little piece
Especially if I strung it out over several years.

The first day I got me a fuel pump
And the next day I got me an engine and a trunk
Then I got me a transmission and all of the chrome
The little things I could get in my big lunchbox
Like nuts, an' bolts, and all four shocks
But the big stuff we snuck out in my buddy's mobile home.

Now, up to now my plan went all right
'Til we tried to put it all together one night
And that's when we noticed that something was definitely wrong.

The transmission was a '53
And the motor turned out to be a '73
And when we tried to put in the bolts all the holes were gone.

So we drilled it out so that it would fit
And with a little bit of help with an A-daptor kit
We had that engine runnin' just like a song
Now the headlight' was another sight
We had two on the left and one on the right
But when we pulled out the switch all three of 'em come on.

The back end looked kinda funny too
But we put it together and when we got thru
Well, that's when we noticed that we only had one tail-fin
About that time my wife walked out
And I could see in her eyes that she had her doubts
But she opened the door and said "Honey, take me for a spin."

So we drove up town just to get the tags
And I headed her right on down main drag
I could hear everybody laughin' for blocks around
But up there at the court house they didn't laugh
'Cause to type it up it took the whole staff
And when they got through the title weighed sixty pounds.

CHORUS
I got it one piece at a time
And it didn't cost me a dime
You'll know it's me when I come through your town
I'm gonna ride around in style
I'm gonna drive everybody wild
'Cause I'll have the only one there is around.

(Spoken) Ugh! Yow, RED RYDER
This is the COTTON MOUTH
In the PSYCHO-BILLY CADILLAC Come on

Huh, This is the COTTON MOUTH
And negatory on the cost of this mow-chine there RED RYDER
You might say I went right up to the factory
And picked it up, it's cheaper that way
Ugh!, what model is it?

Well, It's a '49, '50, '51, '52, '53, '54, '55, '56
'57, '58' 59' automobile
It's a '60, '61, '62, '63, '64, '65, '66, '67
'68, '69, '70 automobile.

 

ok we call that unnecessary
