If you are gong to have to relocate during the winter season i would do enclosed, just because you have no idea what the conditions of the roads are going to be going east (my guess would be horrible and salty in some places).
So.. I may have to relocate for work.
Now I have to figure out how much it is to ship my car across the country. Has any one shipped a car anywhere, and who did you use? Enclosed vs. Open? I would prefer enclosed for obvious reasons.
I'm trying to get some realistic figures for them, so I can get them to pay for (hopefully) 100% of my moving expenses. All I've looked into so far is National Transport LLC.

depending on ship-time and cost-difference, you could always paint the car with plasti-dip (yes, i'm serious) and then have a detail done on the undercarriage once you arrive

I'll be moving between the time of 3 to six months. So, between spring and summer.
I don't know if I'm following the whole plastidip thing?
I'll be moving to Northern VA, right outside of DC to begin more on-site government work. So I'm kind of weary about having to drive in and out of DC in the Evo. I might buy a winter beater.

something like that but over the whole car. cheapo way to paint-protect. some people will do it to drive to events and then peel it off when they get there. similar to people who tape their front ends / quarterpanels on track days but this will stay on better

My reccomendation would be to buy a few rolls of road wraps, roll the car onto the transporter and simply wrap the whole car with road wrap. It would take about 15-20 minutes to complete and you would be assured that they didnt enter your vehicle (as it would be obvious in the wrap material).
Spray on bra:

that spray-on-bra looks like a much better option than plasti-dip as it looks like rhino-liner and would be able to absorb any rocks and such that nicked it
road wrap looks like saran wrap haha

thought about getting my kid one of these sets for Xmas, but didn't want him messing around with liquid nitrogen.

hmm most likely sticking to pump gas. id love to have water or meth injection but thats the furthest ill go. i wont be touching e85 anytime soon. aiming for 400whp by summer with a green or alittle more with a red. if anyone sees an hta green or red for sale for cheap, let me know!
I'm a big believer in the smallest turbo to hit the goals. So a BB Green, BB BBK Full or even the HKS turbo will get you into that 400range.
