smart car? i live in texas and have found that there are dealerships in mexico (distance: 1hr 30min flight, 10hr drive) that sell smart cars (the car sophie drives in the da vinci code, for those of you who don't know)! i could wait til they sell them in the u.s. but i've seen the prices in canada, which i think will be the same prices here or more, and it is a lot cheaper in mexico. i could get the convertible in mexico for the price of the cheapest model in canada! so my question is: if i buy it in mexico, will i have complications to be able to drive it here. what would i have to do if so?
