[s-cars] NAC: How to ship a car from Boston to Dubai?

[Tom Green]

It would take a 747F or Antonov freighter to get it there by fathers  
day.

With a little more time, 4 to 6 weeks,  a container shipment should  
be more
affordable, but the owner would have to devise the securing inside  
the container.
Just contact a reputable shipper and buy insurance.  They will  
usually deliver the
container to a site of your choice for a day, then truck to the port  
of embarkation.
Some pre-shipment preparation may be required, so read the fine print.
