I don't know how often you expect to do this. There are dozens of enclosed car hauling trailers on Facebook Marketplace for ~$7500-. And more new ones that you can rent for a month for $1000-. I have an open trailer I'd use (check the forecast, pick a sunny day), but you could buy or rent an enclosed trailer, haul it yourself, and then sell the trailer back, and come close to breaking even.

Plus, you'll have a fun story to tell!

That is very unfortunate, even using a so called BIG name carrier. What if that would have been the carrier I recommend? Theirs a body shop that is twenty minutes south of the op that painted my car. I’m a bit gun shy now with throwing out recommendation’s. What if….

I say when the police find whoever stole Shaq's Ranger Rover, they should lock them in the interrogation room-with Shaq.

I wonder if it was customized for him? which means who ever stole it if they did not know it was his may find out they can't reach the pedals . . .

The shop that stretched his C8, was shipping this SUV back to him. So maybe its a stretched Range Rover.
