[s-cars] Canadian S6 to US spec, a ? or two

[Kris J.Pruden]

Does the DMV require this conversion to imperial instrumentation, or is
it OK to stay with the metric gauges?  I'm going to be picking up a
Canadian-spec '95 S6 also, but registering it in California.  I'm
Canadian, though, so it'd be neat to be able to stick with the metric
instrumentation...

Thanks,

Kris
