[s-cars] 97 urS6 question

[Henry Manice]

Thanks for all your input, and the welcoming. Oddly enough, I called an audi
dealership in Nashville, TN this morning and they said it was cost about
$5,000 to put in an OBD II system...and then I called an audi dealership in
Boston, where I¹m from, and they said, ³no problem, just stop by and we¹ll
slap an inspection sticker on your car in a second. We know you and your
car, it¹s in mint condition, and we have an OBD converter that we can use,
so it¹ll surely pass emissions.² Too bad I called about everyone else on the
planet before them. Anyway, all is well now....it¹s time for some fun
upgrades. 

Regards,
Henry
