$22.5k buys A LOT

[flaatr@yahoo.com (Euroroc II)]

Very impressive... This is a piece of work! The Skyline is, in some 
configurations, legal for sale in the US. A company in southern California 
is the legal importer of sever versions of the R32, R34, etc. They brought 
in several cars on their own nickle and did the whole crash test etc to get 
DOT approval. These cars, although in most cases several years old, fetch 
as high as $80K... sometimes higher.

The Skyline is legendary...
