Scattered logic.
Don't know about this specific car, but if it meets US emissions standards, it CAN be brought back to the States by a returning GI who bought one while stationed overseas. THe US military has a free shipping program for personnel because they have to keep their people trained to handle strangely shaped and boxed shipments of all sizes AND they need to keep their personnel happy by not forcing them to abandon household goods and cars whenever they change station. Of course, you must bring a car with you overseas in order to be eligible to bring one back for free, but the military doesn't care WHICH car you bring back so long as it is legal for it to operate in the USA. THe fact that a specific car hasn't been imported officially yet doesn't mean there can't be quite a few operating in this country already. Ever wonder how those British three-wheelers you see on the road got here? No individual paid more money in shipping than the car is worth in order to bring it back. Some GI brought it home for free and sold it. There's quite a market in antique and unusual cars via the military in case you didn't know. Also antique furniture and trinket stores are often started up by retiring military who collected antiques from various European countries during their career with this in mind. To put this in perspective, a 4-year airman, single, could bring back 7,000 pounds of household goods and furniture for free from overseas (not counting any cars), when I was in the military. The higher your rank, the more you can ship around. Katrina (walking on sunshine) Leskanich's father retired a full colonel and started an antique shop with his own furniture when he retired. Used to go out with her sister so I got to watch this first hand. > > > Have you ever considered thinking for yourself once > > or twice before you die? :-)>>> > > You first. > > OffWorld > ------------------------ Yahoo!
