Default what should i do

my family is advising me against drive my car down from winnipeg because of the weather. i figer its going to cost me around 5-600 to get up there then drive back. now my aunt told me for about that i can have the car brought to me on a truck or train. that sounds a little to cheap to me to have the car transported from canada to new jersey. if it is about the same price do you guys think i should do it? i have a hard time trusting stangers with my car, and if something happens to my car durring transport id probably go postal on the driver. what do you guys think?
ps. sorry for any misspellings or missing letters the keyboard on my frinds laptop has keys that stick or dont work.

It certainly won't be a fun drive, but if you take it easy you'll be fine. it's a long drive nevertheless, so shipping, at that price does seem to be tempting.

Go get it!!

Last March, I took a flight to Detroit to buy my car from a dealer there. And drove it back to PA.

I went through rain, snow, sun, and dark. But it was the best trip ever, took me a while to believe I was driving a Mustang!

It's my first stang and defenetily not the last!

i drove her up there the last day of augest and made it there the first of september.. i know that trip fairly well ive done it about 10 times before. im just not sure what would happen if i got stuck out in the mid west in a white out. or god forbid i get into a accident. my poor cars has been thru so much paint in the last 6 month between my dad backing into her and give her a black eye and that damm deer taking my entire front end off. but assuming the weather is clear it wouldnt be a bad drive but this time i have to do it alone.

Did you go with the GT500 front end?

The best thing would be to go get it if the weather allows it.
I would feel funny to have strangers handle it, like you said.

Good luck budd. I know you miss that car[8D].
