    They could always send the cars back or leave them behind, I guess, but I was just thinking as a method to make moving to Europe easier for the average american, to load all of their things onto the boat.

      You don’t need a car in most of Europe.

      Public transit exists in nearly every Eurpean country. It is certainly not great everywhere but it will run miles around anything Americans call public “transit”.

      Plus if you intend to migrate you will probably need to transfer your driver’s license which may require a theoretical and/or practical exam.

        Yes but many people in America

        Own a car

        So the cars are going to end up somewhere…

          Sell it to pay for the transportation fees, then buy a better, less wasteful one wherever you choose to move.

          Just how dense is the average American?

          You know what, don’t answer that. We wouldn’t be where we are if the answer wasn’t a thoroughly depressing one.
