Not worth it. Drive it.

You're looking at $2000 at least for an enclosed carrier.

how long did it take you guys to get there? Also, I've been researching different routes to get there? what is the best route do you guys think (i believe theres one going through cali then vegas, or through salt lake city, then vegas, etc...)?

I shipped my previous car from SoCal for $600, but it took over 2 weeks.

Yeah what Cynce said.. about 2 large. I price it last year taking my xB to SEMA but went another route.

Have fun in Vegas, the crew down there is hella cool. I enjoyed kicking it with them when I was in town for SEMA and CES. Good luck at school as well.

X2, they left a huge dent in the side of my car. Since the person on the receiving end for me didnt know what to look for they assumed it was part of the car.

So beware if you do ship the vehicle, this was my one and only experience shipping a vehicle and I will never do it again.

I went thru Susanville, to Reno, then down to Vegas. I wouldn't recommend that route during the winter, but was a nice late spring time drive.
