Importing Vehicles more stuff

[mpeters6@rochester.rr.com (Marc Peterson)]

Yup, that is true for the EPA, but you still need to pass the federal motor
vehicle regs unless the car is 25 years old, so as typical of our government
you need to deal with both issues.

Break down:
post 81, needs to pass EPA and Fed regs. (Pain in ass)
pre 81 post 76 needs to pass Fed regs. (easier)
pre 76 needs to pass nothing. (great, where's my 75 MK1)

Or thats my reading of whats been posted.  So, hook us up with a container
or two of mk1's, will ya? (grin)
