Shipping a car

Does anyone have any Idea how much it would cost to ship a car from Japan to New York?? I'm going to be living in Japan for a year, and I am trying to decide if I'll be able to afford bringing a car back. Also, what kinds of mods need to be done to drive it legally in the US? Sadly, I'm going to have to sell my Civic next summer before I go, cause I can't leave it here for my parents to drive....there would be nothin left. Anyhow....thanks in advance for any thoughts.

Too bad you are not going to Europe. Most cars in Europe will past smog in the US and as for Crash Testing??? I know this guy who came to my school and imported a European S4 for $34000 dollars. And of course, the guy was getting his car smogged. After talking to him, he said his car had more horsepower and a stiffer suspension. Dam those lucky Europeans.
