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

[Tom Green]

I believe the folks that did Bill Gates job would federalize one for  
you too, Dave.  You better retain an attorney if you import one that  
is only 15 years old.  I believe bumpers would be a small issue in  
bringing the RS2 into compliance.  It could have an objectionable  
effect on the appearance though.   I have heard that getting an EPA  
certification would take a little effort and cash.  That's just what I  
have heard.
