Well NJFBOA its been a good run, but I just got my orders today and I'm being stationed out in Southern California. Camp Pendleton to be exact where I'll be attached to the 1st Marine Logistics Group in support of the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force (MEF) Ground Combat Element (GCE) where I'll be on the for the next 2 years! I haven't been very active on the site in the past year but I dont plan on leaving entirely! I'll pop in an offer my .02 whenever I can and occasionally post up of some pics from the west coast! Just wanted to say I've had some good times and met a lot of awesome people through the site and I hope it continues to grow!

The Camaro & Bike are definitely coming with me to the West Coast where I'll still rep my customied Jersey plates with pride! "LT WON" :lol:

I'll be home for Thanksgiving from the 24th-December 4th if anyone wants to meet up!

Sorry to hear that. It stinks they're shipping you out of the country.

Kalifornia sucks, but good luck man and stay safe

You'll love the weather out there man, perfect for Camaro and bike cruising.

The real question is....Is California ready for Alex?

Good luck out there, I live like 4 hours from Cali and refuse to go there. Not after the whole "boycott AZ" thing cause of our immigration law.

P.S. Love the song references

Best of luck Alex. I'm sure you will be lovin' those canyon roads :mrgreen:, the smog tests for inspection not so much :cry:.

dude get your car inspected right before you leave for cali and then just keep your NJ inspection, or do you have to get it done out there anyways??

Enjoy and yeah i forget who said it before but they are right the canyon roads should be sweet to rip up.

Thanks for all the suggestion guys, I'm stoked!

Can anyone point me in the right direction for transporting a vehicle to where I'm going?

I used Fed Ex Transport to get a car from OH to NJ. Pricey but fully enclosed and the drivers are aces. They move very high $ stuff and the equipment and skill reflects that.

Poking around the web, these are the one the guys with nice cars mention most.

Exotic Car Transport
Intercity
Reliable

Whoever you use make sure they are insured

I've sent a car with DAS out of linden nj, no issues at al, very easy and professiona. And military are paying correct? And yea, with DOD personell, you can keep ur car reg. in ur home of record state while u are stationed anywhere out of state. You can even let inspection expire since its considered a "financial hardship" to make you go back to ur home state. My blazer will never see an inspection sticker.

I always thought that they payed for transport up to one personal vehicle when you PCS, but our admin people said negative on that. I need to get the Camaro & R6 over, preferably at the same time!

das is the way to go...cheapest rates on shipping and very good customer service. ive had two cars shipped by them very long distances...the arrival time is spot on. i would pay the extra cash to have the car loaded on the top though...ive heard of some people having complaints that other crapboxes have leaked oil on their car :lol:
