Not just taxes and the gas -- but in Europe there's insurance group 
depending on the ur... either the horsepower or the engine displacement 
capacity.

When I visited Japan, I didn't notice no Poosche 959 or 911 coppers. 
Almost all are based on econocars or scooters (okay... motorcycles). But 
I must say most cops in Japan are pedestrian type without the wheels -- 
and those are no 959s.
