    Has anyone had any experience shipping a car from out of state via a car shipping company?

    Any recommendations? Advice etc?

    shipping the car

    One way you can ship it is to pay someone to trailer it there for you. Yellow pages online has shippers listed. Make sure and check their and your's insurance for any damage if it happens.
    Pine Bluff, Arl, been there, home of Pine Bluff Arsenal where all the Chemical Weapon's R&D is done. Lots of very nasty stuff there.

    Yepper, been to Pine Bluff, LR, Ft. Smith and all other sorts of "scenic" locations in Arkansas. Even Texarkania, what a hole that is.

    None currently, first car was a 71 mav
    This is a little OT, but I grew up in AR. Went to high school in Berryville, about 60 miles from Fayetteville. My mom still lives in Berryville (NW Ark.), and my dad lives in Jonesboro (Eastern AR). That's actually where I got my taste for the Maverick. I bought a '71 from my uncle for $250 in Green Forest, AR back in 1993. Sorry, just thought I'd throw that in there.

    I'll take that Buffalo wing,ya know i never seen a buffalo fly,I guess it's because there wings are so small they can't get off the ground.
