Hope this isn't too politically incorrect, but I am not thrilled with the museum delivery.
After I paid $800 each to have the cars delivered ("destination charge"--and I believe that would get a car to southern Cal from Bowling Green), then I also paid $490 for each car for museum delivery, just because we live in western Kentucky and didn't want to go to New Jersey to pick them up. That is a total of about $2600 to have two cars taken 1 mile from the factory to the museum. We got factory tours and museum tours which costs the general public $6/person. Terri's car was not even AT the museum when we got there--the guy that manages all the museum deliveries had forgotten it.
If you want to make a charitable donation to a good cause, that's fine, but that's a different issue--the cost is really not justified by what you receive. On the other hand, I will say that my tours were enhanced by the extensive knowledge of my guide (Curt). I also feel that both tours are excellent--VERY worth while--I've done them several times, and seen C4s, C5s, and C6s being built.
Anyway, I needed to get that off my chest, because it bothered me, both the unreasonable universal destination charge and the pricey museum delivery option.
