I used Intercity Lines a few years ago to move my car from Connecticut to California. A little on the pricey side but came away very impressed.

Its deff expensive, I'm in the same boat. My silver WS6 is in MO. and I'm in GA. If you have an open truck hauler its around $600 but then I looked at enclosed trailers and it jumped to $1200. Just to give you an idea.

I'm going to fly there, slap a bra on the car and drive it back.

I had mine shipped from Colorado to Florida on an open bed for $795, all these shipping company’s hire 3rd party people to do the shipping but they have everything covered insurance wise; except “acts of god”. I was very impressed.

Read through there Transport FAQ’s, it’ll tell you everything you need to know, they also have great customer service.

Pretty much just yanked it off, you should take the bumper off to do it the right way though. It was very dirty behind it but it all washed off.
