Re: [DML] Importing a Delorean to the USA (Curious about Customs)

[qrorell@xxxx]

Just a footnote on "importing cars". I am in the military and was moving to 
the phillipines for a couple of years and took a 1970 GMC pickup out of the 
country. When I got back to the U.S. several years later was told I needed to 
pay import tax and supply paper work that imported truck would meet emmision 
standards. 
Held them off for a few weeks while driving truck with out of country plates.
When I went to CA. to register, they wanted the same thing. Would not budge 
on reguirements. Finally in stroke of insperation pulled out old florida 
title and paid fees for out of state vehicle.
Just goes to show all you need is the right paperwork regardleess of the 
facts invovled.
