yea it wouldn't be crazy, but if your in Texas and its in cal, hop a flight visit your uncle that your buying it from, and just drive it home, nothing beats the victory run home! last time i did that i picked up a 64 VW Bus from cal, drove it home, 55 all the way ! starter went out someplace in AZ, had to push start it rest of way home lol! but its more fun to bring it home yourself then pay someone.

Also remember not to speed through Texas or Arizona. Cops there are Dicks. My cousin got a speeding ticket for going 65 in a 60. Also through phoenix theres speed cameras on the freeways so remember not to speed when you're in that city.

I would recommend uship.com also =D Just registar and companies will start making you offers to ship. Alot of times you can get a pretty good deal when you find someone that is about to make that route and has an extra spot on their trailer that nees to fill it asap.

yeah, that's baller status though. My buddy that I sold my Corolla to, Flew out to SoCal (where I originally resided) from Texas. I picked him up, we had some Carne Asada Fries, and drove back to Texas about 24 hours later. Made the trip home fine.
if you do this, please make sure the car's been taken care of. Oil change, maintenance, etc. You don't want to be stuck in the middle of the desert needing a tow truck.

I bought my last SC from California, and had it shipped all the way to the east coast in South Carolina.. cost me like $1100, much cheaper then the road trip would have been, and i had the benefit of not putting wear and tear on the car.. i used "Magic Carpet" auto transporters, i'd highly recommend them, great service....
on another note, road trips are fun, earlier this year me and a friend went to texas to pick up his supra..
