Moving this summer to Kuala Lumpur Malaysia... it would make me really happy to export/import my GN but I dont know if that will happen yet. Gonna try = spend $$
My wife is of course FROM there and after giving Kansas a TRY for a while and realizing other areas would only delay things, we are giving Malaysia (MY) a try.
Taken from my board HERE, I posted:
Q: Wow, what for?
A: Wife wants to, and since we already "tried" Kansas I have to be fair.
Q: Sounds like you dont want to.
A: I would RATHER not, but some aspects are exciting too. Good and bad I guess.
Q: Can I have your car?
A: No!
Q: Selling the cars then I guess? No more Buick!
A: Wrong. I hope. I havent given up on the idea of shipping one over. Been looking into that but likely have to wait until a return visit.
Q: Sounds expensive!
A: Yup. Road tax on imported cars with large engines is HIGH. Even local cars with "big" engines are pricey. In ~5 years I get to be a classic and the road tax is reduced or free I'll not be using it for daily transport so that may help.
Q: Which one?
A: Ol' Blue would be exempted from some $ but would take more to get ready. Cant import unsightly cars. Prolly need to pass the 10' test. It also has more of everything to do for a tropical climate (A/C!!)
Q: Because we will miss you, do you plan to come back for visits?
A: Yearly
Q You cant take everything. Is anything for sale?
A: Yup, TOOLS! Computer stuff, maybe some furniture, etc etc. House? Not just yet though.
Q: When is the party?
A: I dunno...
Q: GWTRA?
A: Its up for grabs. Domain renewal should be in June. If you want it, contact me privately.
