haha not that far huh? No thanks, not at this time.
tyrannix:
I have been thinking of taking a page from your book (if you don't mind). When it comes time form me to change duty stations (back to the US), I would really like to ship my 200sx, if possible. The thing is, I don't want to have customs impound it and lose it forever. I may have to pull a "you" and do a disassembly, pack (in tough boxes FTW), ship (household goods or MPS), locate a hatch shell, and rebuild/reassemble.
Anyone:
Have you heard of anyone bringing a non-US spec vehicle into the states (barring the 25yr classic move) without losing it to customs/impound?
