It's not that hard, IF you know the right rules !!!!. All you need is a friend
who is NOT a resident of the US, but is here on a H1 or H2 visa. You see, when
you apply for work in the States you get a visa for 1 year (renewable for up
to 5 years). When you come to the States, on a visa you can bring any personnel
possesion that you want, which includes a car. If the car is still here after
1 year, then you have to register it - this is when the REAL FUN starts, but it
is possible, again if you know the right rules and have filled in the right
pieces of paper. That is how I got my Scimitar in the country, and why 8 years
later I still have it.
