Graveyard Carz delivery
Graveyard Carz is an automotive show focusing on restoring Chrysler muscle cars. Not only are the cars wrecked, they are beyond repair. Broadcast on the Velocity Channel, Graveyard Carz is one of if not the most popular shows on the network, and has fans across the country, and J&S’s drivers are no exception! Our driver Ben Rodriquez is a huge fan of Graveyard Carz, and when he dropped off a 1971 Dodge Challenger in desperate need of restoration, he got the chance to check out the repair shop and meet some of the crew, including Dave Rea and the man, Mark Worman, the driving passion behind Graveyard Carz, himself! Mark and his team of auto restoration experts specialize in MOPAR cars that have seen better days. They scour the country for classics in desperate need of resurrection! The cars Mark and his crew work on are found far and wide throughout the US and can’t be driven to their shop in Oregon. How do they get the cars delivered to their shop? We’ve been lucky enough to transport a few cars for Mark Worman and the crew, and we’re delivering a few for the 7th season, which is set to premiere in March. We’re looking forward to seeing a few of the cars we transported for them restored! Check your local listings to see the day and time Graveyard Carz comes back!

Deciding “Do I want to ship my car or drive it myself?” is a big decision.

Shipping a lease swapped vehicle
Leasing a vehicle gives you the benefits of ownership without actually having to own the vehicle. It’s essentially like renting a vehicle, and when the lease is up, you turn the car over and can get another new vehicle! If you have the means, it’s almost always better to buy as you end up owning the car, but if you like getting a new vehicle every couple of years, leasing may be the way to go for you. As leasing has become more popular over the years, lease-swapping has become more popular as well. Sometimes people realize they can’t afford the monthly lease payments, sometimes they just want to get another vehicle. Whatever the reason, when it comes to either trying to unloading a monthly payment you don’t want, or acquiring a new vehicle for less than market rates, lease-swapping may be the avenue for you. Thanks to websites such as leasetrader.com and swapalease.com, picking up a lease at a ridiculously low rate has never been easier (or possible). Leasetrader.com and swapalease.com are among the most popular sites where people looking to sell their leases list their vehicles. On top of locking in the original rate, you’ll typically benefit from a cash incentive, as opposed to the usual down payment. And you’ve now got the car for less than a full lease term—say, six months—so theoretically, you have a different new(ish) car at least every year! Finally, it will almost certainly be easier to return the car at the end… Read more »
