Cars in College

<p>Where are you going to college? There’s a lot of people driving nice cars where I go (but not 100k worthy). </p>

<p>What kind of car are you driving? If you’re driving a bright neon green lambo then I’d probably leave it at home if I were you. </p>

<p>Also it depends on the people there. During football games (especially rival games) there’s a lot of vandalizing in the aftermath of the game where I am so I wouldn’t feel safe bringing such an expensive car to campus unless it’s in a safe location away from all of the ruckus.</p>

<p>If this is a serious query, you will not be able to import any new car into the US that is not certified to meet all DOT (Department of Transportation)/EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) regulations relative to the year of manufacture. Insurance will be the least of your problems. </p>

<p>Realistically, you have two choices: wait until you arrive in the US and purchase the vehicle of your choice or order a U.S. spec vehicle in your home country for delivery at the US port of your choosing. </p>

<p>There is a diplomatic loophole: if you hold a diplomatic passport and are accredited by your home country to serve in the U.S.(and recognized by our State Department) you may be able to import a vehicle that does not meet DOT/EPA regulations for the period of your service. If either of your parents holds a diplomatic post in the U.S. a vehicle can be brought into the country under their name and sponsored by your embassy. You will have to check with your foreign ministry and the local U.S. embassy to verify the particulars. Even if this was possible, you may not qualify to drive “their” car since you are their dependant and have no diplomatic status. And, no, your second cousin who works at the UN won’t cut the mustard. </p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
