Mr Hull bids farewell

Ok, so if they were selling back then for $30,000, you really think
it'd cost $30,000 to get a car shipped her and "federalized" / DOT
approved?  I doubt it'd be more than $10,000.  Especially since I'm
sure the crash safety specs on that car are almost identical to the
1990 CQs on the road already here, etc.  Wouldn't even have to slap on
ugly bumpers like they did to the Countach in the 80's (god those
looked retarded).

Hell, if I were him, I'd have taken that $60,000+ , maybe sold a car
or two, and taken the $100,000 and bought a Quattro Sport instead  :)
