good idea... but i cant

i was initially moving to Prague, but then plans changed and I ended up living in Thailand... which is a good thing, since Thailand is like 10x more fun than Europe.

the problem with importing to thailand is they have a 200-300% import tax on vehicles coming in.... and some guy at the customs office gets to make up the initial value of your car when it arrives.
so i can bring over the car... and when it arrives, some greedy bastard at customs says its worth $XXX and I have to pay another $20k in taxes.... if you dont pay, they just keep the car.

i wont be purchasing a car here either, would not even be able to use it where im living.

just to give you an idea of car prices for imported brands.
a new Mbz SL350 is $500k USD
a new BMW 535i is $250k USD
used 93-95 FD RX7's go for around $30-35k USD
