Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

19 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I'm in Austin Tejas. Car (SY C4S) is in Ft. Lauderdale. Time is tight, and I'm jonesing; options: 1. Fly out, inspect car, write big fat check, fly back same day (perhaps on Thursday), ship car by carrier, wait for car to arrive, fingers crossed and in physical pain. 2. Fly out, inspect car, drive my azz off for 2 to 2.5 days to make the 1300 mile trip. Basically, burn an extra day to day and a half in transit. Return fatigued but with the goods. Car already has 30k on the clock, 23 months left under warranty. Wife and two children at home awaiting closure on my Pcar journey. What would you do?

POST 2Original post

No question in my mind - take door number 2!!! I would add a day and take your time though... Good luck - the C4S is an awesome car! Barry

POST 3Original post

Unless somebody would die by delaying, I would say it is absolutely worth it to drive the car back, and not be in too much of a hurry about it. Unless of course you are talking about driving fast to enjoy the fast drive Life is short. Enjoy the rewards you get as much as you can. Congratulations on the car!!!

POST 4Original post

If this was December and you were afraid of a Texas ice storm you could consider having it shipped. This time of year you really must drive it.

POST 5Original post

I would drive back and enjoy! No need to worry if some shipper will damage it. Go for it!!!

POST 6Original post

Drive it, but buy a round trip ticket. That way it's easier to walk away (um, fly away) if there's something wrong with the car. Good luck!

POST 8Original post

I drove mine from Dallas to Richmond in early April and had a wonderful time...a day and a half getting to know a new car like that on a roadtrip...priceless. Yes, DO get a roundtrip ticket for the aforementioned reason but it's also much cheaper. Just cancel the return leg with the airline BEFORE the return, just saying plans changed - they don't need a reason - and you'll have SOME credit left for another trip. My ticket was $360 vs like $800 one-way; and I just used a $130 credit from the return for another ticket.

POST 10Original post

Drive! Drive! Drive! No doubt about it! Thought you'll need some kind of transit tags or whatever. But to second everyone elses thoughts, make sure its exactly what you want. Don't settle at all....

POST 11Original post

Road trips are great! Drive it and see the USA

POST 12 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Wow, overwhelmingly polarized thoughts on the issue. I've 'cleared' driving it back with the missus. I'm hopeful it all works out.

POST 13Original post

Pack the kids off with relatives and take the wife ! You'd have a great time. Will

POST 14Original post

Hey Frayed, you jacked my car!!! Just kidding!!! I was looking at the same car on Ebay from that lease dealership. I am scared that the car was abused before since it was a rental car. You know, people abuse those rentals as much as they can. Since they only rent it for a day or so, they can abuse it quite extensively. So did you get the car check out with a PPI? Also, a note, that car was listed at 60k Buy it now. So they changed it to 62k. Just a little info for ya. So you can bargain a little with the dealer. But at 62k is still quite a steal. Hope you enjoy your car!! I'm still looking for one. Love that SY color. Latez

POST 15Original post

I'm thinking drive it... I didn't and look what happened!

POST 16 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Seriously, that happened during shipping? Oooohhhh chit!

POST 17Original post

Yep, sure did. Guy lost control of it while the door was open, the door hit the truck and bent around. So yeah ship it, it's great!

POST 18 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Phock that. I'm drivin' it. Anyone wanna ride shotgun? I have a new V1 being delivered this morning to accompany my land speed record attempt somewhere West of Baton Rouge.
