if you are in the military then you need to check with the military. they can ship the car for you back to the states. maybe even free!

I'm in the marines and have been told that it can be done for real cheap...but it will have to be approved by us saftey standards...not sure how that is done though..your command should be able to put you in the right direction though when it comes to talking to the right people before you go from where you are....good luck

I was under the impression that the military would ship your car for free.

They do. But getting it legalized is a whole different story. TMO and trans people are generally worthless when it comes to that. Call up a company like motorex or one of those places that import cars from japan and legalize them and see what all would be involved in getting the civic legalized.
I'm in a whole different boat. I brought my car here and was thinking about selling it to a portuguese guy a while back. He was offering me 15,000 Euro CASH for it. Then when he found out what it would take to convert it to euro safety spec he changed his mind.
So do some digging on google.

I'll call the president and tell him to get a C-130 over there so we can get your car home. Yeah.

Good luck, and thanks for serving.
