Quoted from HighVoltage:

Pulled the rear seats from my A3, framed a flat floor, and it was road trip time to pick up my Stranger Things Premium.

Quoted from Heretic_9:

[What is your ideal transport suggestion, that fits the parameters I will set out below.]
This is something I've wondered about, ever since owning my first pin ~ 8 years ago. I see that this thread has been going on for 9 years worth of posts, so I've got a lot of catching up to do in reading through it. Most of the games I own came to me via NAVL, from coast to coast distance or approaching that. They must break up the transport into segments, as the last leg of it was always delivered by a local region firm. This firm used a sizable, fully enclosed truck -- I'd estimate having an internal capacity of 8 pins or more -- equipped with a formidable, pro liftgate, which makes a huge difference.
BUT, WHAT IF you needed or desired to move a few pins around from time to time in your local area, did not want to go out and rent a truck each time for this, and your budget would accommodate owning your own vehicle for this ? What would you choose ? Consider that basically as being open-ended, covering various price points. (The each-time rental is likely still going to be a much more feasible solution, but I'd still like to field your ideas.)
Factors I would list as highly desirable:
1. Fully enclosed, no flatbed trucks. So you don't have to deal with a tarp in rainy or windy weather.
2. Will accommodate at least 2 widebody pins. and probably a max. of 4, because:
3. Don't want to have to work with some HUGE vehicle that it can be difficult to maneuver or to find a suitable parking space for.
4. Well drivable, for people with ordinary driving skills. (I've driven a medium panel truck or van, which qualifies.)
5. Has a pin-sized or larger powered liftgate, capable of supporting 250 - 300 lb.s at a time. This could be after-market. (I've heard of one called 'Tommygate.' Don't know how good it might be . . . . ) Liftgate much preferred over any ramp.
6. Can be fitted with interior fixtures at which to secure restraining straps.
7. Good vehicle reliability. I've seen some trucks or vans that might be candidates, based on the overall size, ranging from Dodge to Mercedes. (Why I said to cover various price points.)
8. Should be able to take the height of a pin that does not have the head folded, or removed if it's a non-foldable EM. That most likely rules out being able to see out of any rear windows, if they exist. So:
9. Decent visibility around the vehicle, from the mirrors, and any possible camera features.
I think that would pretty much be my wish list, if I could enumerate the specs.
