[s-cars] importing problem

[bill mahoney]

I would say to our Canadian bro', we are happy to accept any and all
rare and well cared for quattro's.  ...you're beer and any of your
women 8.2+.   We thank you;)
WRT that cold air you're always sending down here.. cut it out will ya!?

Hey wow! sound like this process involves transmission removal ...I'm in!  
But it does sound doable.
Now what if after my pig finally blows up with a big bang in a blaze
of glory, I find me a red 95 rs2, remove the drive train, ship it
'Dano'  and one month later it's somehow cruising Illinois as a
rebadged red 95 avant S6, heck it's got rs2 bhadges on it now anyhow.
Next question is just how many places does the serial number exist and
or more importantly where does the 'man' look?
But don't I have a better car now anyway?
