from what I've read here.... reasons to run away from RoW cars.

1. rusted out POS
2. guaranteed to die in any crash
3. motor will explode from lack of octane
4. drugs found in rocker panels
5. Jimmy Hoffa DNA found in trunk


.... but I like my RoW, thank you!

Sorry, don't know anything about regulations for importing.

the euro car is actually quite superior to the N american cars - contrary to what TerryH can't remember

John Colasante gave me this info about show and display:

http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/rules/import/ShowDisplay/howtosd072003.html



Note the 993 RS is already on the “approved” list, so it should be easy to import under this rule
