Default Expecting father needs stork

Hello all!

I'm anticipating on soon being the proud owner of my first ever C3, super excited and happy to be here.

I'm looking for any advice whatsoever but most importantly, I'm looking to have the car shipped enclosed from Connecticut to Pennsylvania. Any advice or recommendations as to a preferred transport provider would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance
-J

Hilarious title haha. When I clicked, I had absolutely no idea what to expect. By any chance, did you buy that blue big block that was on Craigslist?

I guess a 3 to 5 hr drive with the Bruckner expy and GW bridge isn't your idea of a 1st drive? I had a boat trailer axle fold up in that area. Pucker factor!!

As a result, I now have a new appreciation for the term "Pucker factor" @Derekderek Ha!

Engine: L48
Mileage: 66000
