Julie's Journal
Good girls have diaries... Bad girls have blogs!When I moved from the Midwest to Southern California in the late 80′s I drove a U-haul and towed my 5.0 Mustang behind it. That was quite frankly the worst road trip I have ever taken. Going up mountain passes in the slow lane at 35 MPH was not my idea of how “moving out west” was going to be. It was awful. When I moved from Las Vegas to San Francisco I seriously thought about using an auto transport service to get my car up here. It’s only about a 7 hour drive, but I just didn’t want the hassle of driving. I eventually decided against it since I had to also transport 4 cats, but hadn’t it been for them, I would totally use this type of service.
No matter what your reasoning is for needing your car shipped an auto transport service is the best way to go. Moving is most likely the number one reason you would use an auto transport service, but there are many other uses as well. Buying a car off eBay? They’ll ship it to your driveway. In the military? They will ship your car to you and even give you a great discount for serving our country. If you have a high end sports cars or a classic car, they even offer enclosed shipping to keep it protected. With guaranteed delivery times, and virtual online vehicle tracking, it is definitely worth checking into when you need your car transported somewhere.

Living in Las Vegas is filled with all sorts of temptations! From gambling, drinking, sex (yep I said it), strip clubs, pool parties, etc. It gets pretty crazy around here at times. But after living in this town for 9 years, those temptations go away pretty fast. It doesn’t take too long to get burnt out and just stay home. But then family and friends come to town, and I let my hair down all over again for a night…or four.
