Default S2000 Transporter Needed from South CA

Just bought 08 S2K in South California. Need transporter to pick up and deliver to St. Louis, MO. anyone have experience with a reliable transporter? Had a 94RX7 R2 moved from Reno with good experience, but carrier is down for a while. Considering Curves Ahead with closed trailer, but expensive. Think I prefer enclosed, but RX7 came open trailer without problem.

Input appreciated.

I'd rather you didn't put my picture online

But seriously OP, if you don't mind the miles on your car I'm seriously game. PM me.

Rob-2, thanks for the offer. I have total flexibility in my schedule and zero adult supervision in my life, so I considered flying out and driving back, but prefer to save the miles for more meaningful trips.

Dammitjim, do you have personal experience with Concours Transport? Tried to contact them today without success.

Got quotes from DAS, FedEX, Curves Ahead, Hillbilly Transport, and a few others. Will talk with JTM Logistics tomorros. Costs are high enough I've even considered towing friend's enclosed race car trailer out and back.

Thanks for everyone's input. Still investigating, but anxious to receive car. Looking forward to connecting with Gateway S2Ki group in St. Louis.
