You mean, my pieces?

But seriously, I'm not personally interested in trying it anytime soon. I don't really plan on spending good money on a car for some time, I'm more of a travel person at this point of my life. I could probably have a pretty nice car instead of the two trips to Japan under my belt, but everyone's got a different set of priorities. Since I'm not sure if the good ol' US of A is the place I'm going to ultimately wind up living, I'm not rushing into any binding financial commitments like a car I've put work into, or starting payments on a house.

I've been thinking of buying a vintage Mini Cooper here (live in Australia now as an exchange student, need a car) and bringing it home with me. Those are pretty inexpensive (here) and a breeze and a half to import, because they're already back home, and can be found old enough to where import restrictions don't apply. It's somewhere around a grand for the boat ride, 2.5% value of the car import tax, and the titling fee. Bring originally imported in relatively small numbers, demand is fairly high, so if it doesn't work out for me, I could get my money back and maybe some extra.
