    Hello Toyota Bros,

    I am moving from PA to Texas. I have an 01 MR2 Spyder to move if anyone knows of a cheaper car carrier would appreciate the information. Looking to move around May 13, 14 or 15. From Zip code 15126 to 78578.

    Beware of the cheapest auto transporters. I highly suggest towing it/having a friend drive it & pay for their flight back +.

    Hello, I have transported my car from PA to Texas before few months. I have transported it with the car transporting company which was recommended to me by one of my friends. Well, you can also ask to some of your friends or any one who can suggest you a better transport company with their experience. You can even search for a reliable services on Internet by going through their websites and reviews.

    It sounds like there’s a good opportunity for a transport company sorta like Uber. I pick up your car and drive Miami for a set fee. I either drive another car back or fly back. I probably wouldn’t make a lot of money but it would give me a chance to travel.

    I would have driven it there for him for my costs. But it sounds like he wanted it trailered as the car may have been Racing Inspired Cosmetically Enhanced. :boink:
