I suppose it would be simple enough to disable the odometer...not that I
condone illegal practices :)

  Yes, you can get an S3 as a "regular Joe" in the US.

  You "simply" have to prove to the NHTSA that the car is of "historical or
technical value". A friend of mine is trying to bring his Subaru Impreza 22B
into the US under these rules in the coming months.  Whomever he talked to
at NHTSA said that that was the exact type of car they'd made the rules for.

  The catch: you can only drive the car 2500 miles/year. And you have to be
an invidivual importer - no dealers and no resale for a given period.

  Check out the exact wording here:
