Thanks. I need to find a company that removes the container from the harbour to a warehouse where the Fiero can be unloaded via a ramp. Do you have contacts or can recommend a company?

Get a flat bed tow truck and drive it from the container to tow truck which will in turn take it to your warehouse.

Well rent a uhaul for the personal things and use the flatbed for the car ,it works out cheaper for you than getting a jumbo fork lift.

A little last-minute mod. I've had the pewter ornament from the Fiero Store as my nose emblem for some time but today I painted the FIERO lettering yellow and applied two coats of clearcoat. A 10 minute mod and I like it!

They are quite eye catching though. Perhaps you could leave them on while driving around Miami

Does seem odd now that I think about it that they would post the ships position and track on a website. Maybe the Pirates don't have satellite internt?

Looking forward to seeing the car. Will it be at Daytona next year??

If you look at the world map on the site with all ships showing you will see that there are no positions for the pirate hot-spots (e.g. coast off Somalia). Also, the tracking is not in real time.

Yeah that makes sense. I was thinking someone could still do a straight line extrapolation of the ship's track, but maybe they do Crazy Ivans every so often to throw off the pursuing vessels.

Kolja decides to get a bird's eye view of his car's progress so he and Lyen drive up to the Kennedy Space Center and grab a ride on another 80s vehicle no longer in Production.

Couldn't put Lyen on the ship to guard the car. The crew wouldn't ever want to reach port!
