[s-cars] Devil Went Down to Georgia..

[Tom Green]

If I understand things correctly, it was not a "roller" and it was not  
a RS2 model vehicle.

Those who are stating "facts" about importation of vehicles need to  
add that those "facts" are only their lay person interpretation of  
federal regulations and hearsay gathered from the internet, or get  
some real facts from a registered importer or attorney qualified to  
opine on these matters.

These vehicles are not "banned" from importation.  But, no one said it  
would be easy or inexpensive.  You just have to be willing to pay a RI  
to modify the vehicle where necessary to meet all federal regulations,  
certify it for EPA emissions requirements, and do all the paperwork,    
And, be prepared to abandon the project if the RI finds an obstacle  
they can't overcome in the time limits the feds allow.  Bringing the  
vehicle to the US does not guarantee success  in federalizing it,  
since those restrictions mean it is not eligible for any of the  
exceptions to the rules, which is going to make it an expensive project.

I think that means nobody here is going to legally import one to the  
US for another 10 years.
