Importing from Japan... (sigh)
Well a while back I looked into importing an Soarer from Japan, thought it would be dope to have the steering wheel on the passenger's side... but found out that it costs about 7K just to bring the car into US spec.
just thought it was interesting..

but anyhow, I found that it was a bit impractical, but if a car is bought new (SC430 costs about $43000) and then spend the 7K on conversion you might have something. Too bad I don't have 50 Large lying around.
here's the US Gov take on personal car importing
