[FWDLK] shipping large parts

That's true, Bob, but when it comes to my Chrysler I have a frightening
so-what attitude. When I found my Saratoga on eBay after a LONG search, I
promptly tore up that month's mortgage check and bought the car. No regrets
to this day. I wish I could find someone at Daimler Chrysler who would care
so I could tell them my 98 Sebring convertible was a piece of garbage, but
my 60 Saratoga is the last car I will ever own.

About shipping, it cost me $1200 to have the entire car shipped enclosed
door-to-door from Chicago to Orange County CA. You're right, it's just a
fact of life, but money well spent.
