Excalibur,

Thanks! It's just that I'm old enough to remember the 107 Series Mercedes when they were imported into the States in the mid-70's. The 5-mph bumpers and US sealed beam headlamps turned a gorgeous car into a joke.

All of this talk about new regulations covering one of the last few "fun-to-wrench-on" car segments is like the nightmare that won't go away.
