Importing Vehicles more stuff



    The green monster got there/back that way, back in the day. I cant get one shipped back unless i
was stationed there and came back to the us... and if it was me that was there, and i could bring
one car back, it would be that rocco that went on ebay for like 52 bucks a week ago, and it would
most likely be for me (sorry, guys, heheh).
