    Buy an Aussie import ute. They’re exactly what you want and not common in the US so you have a fashion statement.

      Haha never seen these things before. Reminds me of an El Camino, but trying to be a sports car instead of America muscle upfront.

        Got it in one, they’re an Australian icon. It’s like the reverse mullet of cars, party in the front, business in the back.

      Last I’d checked, it was virtually impossible to import non-DOT-approved cars to the US. You basically had to take them apart and then assemble them here as “kit cars” to get around stupid grey market rules.

        You can either bring in a 25 year old one, or rebody a local Chevy SS or Pontiac G8 with a ute shell.
