If you were in the military you could bring cars over here. I was in kuwait looking at cars that you could buy and have the military import. People stationed in germany bring over cars all the time. You can get bmws cheap.



Im in japan (in the military).. No you cant lol

Its no easier for any other person then it is for the military here in japan. Just like everyone has been saying, in order to get it shipped to the states it has to be approved. The lowest I heard of doing this is 5 grand but it usually runs people around 8 grand to get it up to US standards, and only a few people have done this because that much is rediculous.

Here is a topic that a marine made when bringing his car back to the states -

http://www.zeroyon.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=8819

What most people do here is BREAK down their car.. take all the parts off of it.. stock up on all the cheap parts they can get their hands on here in japan (Which is still hard to get.. just because we are in japan doesnt mean we are in car heaven) Then TMO (military free shipping) back all their parts to the states.. Buy another car with same model ect and install it on that car.

However, I havnt thought of the idea which someone said "Cut the car in half" Where would you cut it? Lol.. Its a intriguing idea that could possibly work.
