Dependable Auto Shippers. DAS, ebay motors recommends them, and I've used them before. http://www.dasautoshippers.com/

I drove mine from WA to VA.... does that count? I guess not

That drive was an awesome experience until we got to Ohio and my dad and I got into a fist fight.

If you post up an ad on www.uship.com you will get a lot of responses from people looking to fill up their car carriers for cross country trips. There is a huge market fro those "brokers".

Excellent way to get decent prices if you're not too concerned about using a covered car carrier. I had my open top roadster shipped cross country from Oregon in an enclosed carrier. It was *much* cheaper than fuel costs to drive cross country.
