So I finally sold my car last night. The amazing part of the story is where its going. I delivered it to a port in new jersey yesterday. So where is my car going?......
https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2008/05/map_belarus_flag-1.jpg

The most popular answer did win out in the end with dodik giving the exactly correct explanation. The key here was that I delivered it to a Port in Jersey. So on to the explanation of why it can't be the others:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alaska - Popular choice because cars do get shipped there on boats but from the WEST coast. I am on the EAST coast so it would first go by trailer and then boat. :wink:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New Zealand -
Couldn't possibly be NZ because we get so many B4's there.
Exactly right.....would make no sense.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Canada -
.NY is decently close to Canada so I wouldn't see the need to ship.
Bingo.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
England - Doesn't import cars from the U.S.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Virgin Islands -
NZ, The UK, Virgin Islands and possibly Belarus all drive on the right hand side. oooo you had it mostly right except for Belarus which drives on the left as all former USSR republics. http://users.pandora.be/worldstandards/ ... 20left.gif (http://users.pandora.be/worldstandards/images/driving%20on%20the%20left.gif)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Belarus- Former Soviet republics import many cars from the East Coast. This is because they are worth twice as much there as they are here. Thanks for playing :grin:

I'm upset that I'm not one of the three. Therefore I protest guessing.

im pretty sure it went to Belarus (i used to deliver cars to port for a living and most of them went ot former USSR republics) and something tells me that Silent knew where Belarus was before selling the car.

It would make no sense for it to go to NZ or the UK. So I went with Virgin Islands...

Alaska makes the most sense to me.

NZ, The UK, Virgin Islands and possibly Belarus all drive on the right hand side. I can't see someone importing a LHD USDM car w. JDM mods to there neck of the woods. NY is decently close to Canada so I wouldn't see the need to ship.

O man this is so much fun.....I'm glad that some of you realized that most of what I wrote in the original post was a clue to where it went. The only way to figure it out is by process of elimination and logic as many of you have tried. I'll have my fun one more day and then spill why the answer could only be one of two choices up there.

If I sent my car to Belarus, you think they'd send me a bride back? Maybe even two? hmmm.... :grin:

Funny - I originally selected Belarus in the poll but later posted Alaska because your original post had said "I'm running a pole" or something similar.

I saw 'pole' and immediately thought "North Pole" and said Alaska.

So how did you sell it to someone in Belarus?

I had a feeling that unintentionally ws gonna throw someone off. Well the buyer was in the US looking for a car for a relative over there. Sent him pics, relative agreed. Payed in cash upfront, rest was history. An interesting thing to note is that US cars over there count from the date manufactured. My 03 was made in oct of 02 so over there it counts as an 02 subaru.

So now we just need to know WHAT / WHY some rich person would buy the car and have it shipped all the way there? how much was shipping? I mean, its an awesome car and all.. but damn, they must have some money to blow if they are going to get a SUBARU shipped there. mob? haha.

Just because your have money does not mean you need to blow it on some $11,000,000 car just to show it off.. thats $11,000,000 left in your pocket.

I have no idea how much shipping is but i guess its worth it. They buy subarus and SUVs mostly over there because the roads and weather conditions are shit.

I picked correctly, but only through a proverbial blind dart toss. Should have bought a Powerball ticket that day.

On second thought, nah.

Don't worry, there is no shortage of tanks to use as towtrucks.
