You can bring any left hand drive vehicle. Parking is awful (just like any other big city) but you can apply for a permit to park longterm in your area. The DMV is a challenge but go there early in the week, get there around 8am, take along a heap of documents and a great deal of patience and you should be out in a couple of hours. Once you've completing the initial registration, change of license etc renewing is MUCH easier (online!). Be careful of the roads -potholes on some of the roads can swallow and buckle wheels, and those metal plates they put over roadworks are slippery after rain and icy in winter. One particular driving custom of note is that it appears you can do almost anything with impunity here as long as you are behind the wheel. - Jun 2006
