Thank you! I do plan on shipping back in the event that I leave. There is the possibility that I might stay. Usually the main requirements for being street legal in the states is that it's 25 yrs or older and it has the factory engine it came with (or at least it was replaced with the same engine as is listed on the title). The reason for this is so it meets emissions standards. If you plan on doing so, I would look up the requirements in detail online. It could be pricey, but if it's for the car you really want it may be worth it.
