Re: Congrats! Check it out...was: NEW OWNE   10/19/98
the vehicle was shipped via auto transport company.  $800 from Corpus Christi, TX to NE Iowa.  It would be cheaper shipping it east-west.  I opted for this rather than #1 pay for the plane fare to get there, #2 have the "maiden-voyage-shake-down-cruise" be a 1500 mile redeye, #3 I don't have the time, and #4 it seemed like the thing to do.  Email me if you need more info.
