Tow it! I'd hate if my first drive in a 100k car was in less than perfect conditions and I'd be paranoid all the way home. That's just me though, I'm crazy ocd about my 06z that's worth about 40k lol

Thanks! That must have been such a cool experience. Glad to know someone who 'witnessed' the process.

Your build will look stunning... and S1 is fine since many of the components can be retrofitted later anyway when you desire. Safe travels!

Lot's of opinions on this subject. Here's mine:

Don't drive or tow it on an open trailer. Wet or dry, salt chucks or dust. For the distance you need to go, the salt WILL find its way to the undercarriage and some of it will remain there for the life of the car...no matter what you do to try and clean it.

I just can not bring myself to give a brand new high end sports car a salt bath!

IF you are going to be using the car year round (cringe), than drive it.
