An afternoon with a couple pieces of 1/4" plywood and some 1x3. Wood glue and drywall screws. Secure the piece to one side of the crate (I used 36/48" tie wraps, which I happended to have)and use bubble wrap or something to soften the other side. Shop around for freight rates. I didn't and the cost was ridiculous, about $180.

Trucking companies have limited liability when it comes to claims regarding visible damages and rarely ever pay a claim for concealed damages found after removing packaging.

I work in transportation and our insurance rates on shipments to the island are $0.55 per $100 of insured value, so your insurance should not be more than the minimum charge of $20.00 or so.

Just make sure that your shipper indicates that insurance is requested at the time the shipment is picked up.

excellent job with expensive and/or heavy items. An added benefit of using a trucking company is that their trucks move over the weekends. On the other hand UPS botches most everything heavy or fragile, and I have heard that FedEx Ground is just about as bad as UPS.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
