My father just picked up a sports car that he wants to leave down in Florida and not take north for 6 months. I'd like to give him some advice about what he can do with that car other than leave it there. My thought would be to have it driven up or shipped on a transport, perhaps train travel or potentially just leaving it in Florida but in some sort of climate controlled facility. Any of you guys do this with your vehicles?

No it's not an exotic. It's just a typical sports car for where he's living now. He doesn't want to trailer it, not at his age.

what does age have to do with pulling a trailer with your vehicle?

Nothing if your able to pay attention while you're trailering. He's a curb jumping gold metalist these last few years.

It's really not that difficult

OK. I know it's a hassle, but he needs to research whatever shipping company. Personally, I don't trust them simply because people make mistakes. I had a vehicle shipped. They try to make you sign the release before they will unload the vehicle, and my dumb ass did. The shipper placed my vehicle too far forward on the trailer and with flexing of the trailer, it rubbed the paint off in a couple of spots, the situation being hidden while the vehicle was still on the trailer. I've also read about people's vehicle showing up with gravel damage around the rear wheelwells ie the shippers pulled the vehicle off the trailer and hooned it at some point during shipping. I've also read about someone with a heavily modded car they disconnected the battery on after loading it on the trailer show up with the aftermarket ecu fried from someone trying to hook up the battery backwards, presumably to hoon it.

So hoon is some mouth breather white trash who decides they want to joyride your car? I wonder if you have a miles in miles out form. Id be like WTF if it was over a mile.
