OT: ATTN: Jason Cameesa/ importing a rall golf

[redbug64 at hotmail.com (Jason Arms)]

It wouldnt see salt, take a look at my sig ;)  I dont drive nice cars in the 
salt!  Only free rabbit pickups and the occational $50 Audi 90.  I 
understand what you are saying, but i dont have the almost $700 a month that 
the car payment would cost me for an evo, nor the $300 for insurance a 
month.  I can however afford a personal loan payment on 15 grand or so, with 
a monthly insurance payment of, oh, 60bux for my arhemm '89 golf 1.8 8v 
2door.. caugh!  syncro supercharged, blistered fenders hack sneeze..   sorry 
:)  THanks for your help everyone on this matter.  :)
