It's easy - Progressive do insurance on foreign DLs. You'll have to buy a year but you can pay by installments and when you cancel it, you'll get exactly the pro-rated refund minus a small charge. It's absurdly cheap compared to the UK.
I highly advise not buying anything too old that you can't fix yourself. There is no equivalent of the MOT in CA. Combine that with the sunny Californian, why fix today what might never break attitude and there are an unbelievable number of dodgy motors around. Getting anything esoteric worked on costs a packet and won't happen at all n the middle of nowhere.
Otherwise, just join AAA and have fun!

Sweet, I might give them a call tomorrow.
I'm gonna try and pick up a beetle if I can, definitely able to work on those and they seem to be common as hell out there.

Did you use their online quote function?
Seems way too good to be true, either that or I'm just used to the daylight robbery conducted by UK companies... Starting at just over 400 USD for a year of coverage on a BMW 3 series.
Considering I'm 19 and have had a license for under a year that's insane.

Good to know, I've looked into it quite a bit now and it seems very possible with the only unknown being the insurance and how easy it'll be to get coverage for less than a year.
Been surfing craigslist and ebay and seems like an early 70s beetle can be had for around $2000usd, the more I think about it the more I doubt I'll ever want to come home...
