    Interesting topic but thinly veiled as an advtisement with all the business buzz word speech makes for some of my least like videos.

    Instead of pulling plugs why not pull the relays for the fuel pumps or battery? I would feel better doing that then knowing they might still drive it or try and hoon it around down a few cylinders.

    Wow, the transport cost could pay for my entire dream fleet 😂

    There is a video showing a cargo ship with multiple cars on top deck. Which was a very bad idea. At some point out at sea, the ocean water was pouring onto the cars. The salt water caused a big fire. All those cars burned.

    For a second I thought the title was referring to R34 GTRs. Might as well be with the way prices continue to shoot up lol

    No one is going to spend $100k to ship a car.

    Would you go through the hassle of importing a car from overseas?

    Wow prices have gone up. In 2003 I deregistered my Beat, drove it to the Kanda ro-ro, paid about 65USD per m3 to ship it to Southampton, where I met it 6 weeks later with the bill of lading. Got it MOTd and registered the next day. Total cost was about £400 all in including dock handling fees/MoT/registration.

    WOW a fucking ten minute slide show of a XJR15 and it never gets mentioned one time, love that

    I hear that using musical instrument boxes is a good way to transport stuff out of Japan. At least if you're taking them to Lebanon...

    They banned "Mini trucks" in PA, probably because they thought they were a threat to the truck market. You can get a 90s Suzuki Carry truck with 4 wheel drive for under 8k, and they were even cheaper for awhile. Some even come with a damn dump truck bed from the factory. It sucks honestly

    Speaking of cars from japan, I love that type R NSX you've got

    I'm pretty sure that is the same XJR-15 that is in Curated's inventory right now. They just did a video on it.

    Just booked a move for a very valuable Porsche from Monterrey. I work in container and air logistics between US and Asia.

    This is super valuable information, and really interesting that last two minutes!! It’s sad to hear people are having their car registration denied rather illegally.

    There's a Black Opel Omega for sale on CarGurus. This videos motivates me to go and kick its tires
