F&*^in Audi!!!!!!
so i go through my mail today from when i was away last week and there's the letter of nonconformance for my S4. i open it up and see what the details are. blah blah blah kilometers instead of miles etc...
then they go on to say that i don't have passive restraint systems and that my car doesn't pass CARB....
WTF???! MY CAR HAS SEATBELTS ABS AND AN AIRBAG....EXACTLY THE SAME AS A US MODEL!!!
AND WHAT THE HELL DO I CARE ABOUT CARB?!?!?1 I'M NOT MOVING TO CALIFORNIA!!!!!!!!!
so i call them up and not only do they stick with their story, they won't believe me when i say i have an airbag nor will they budge on the non-conformance!!!!!!
god i'm pissed!
good thing i have a potential hassle saving deal in the works. god i'm gonna miss this car.

Don't forget ProConTen as well. They are complete idiots on these importation issues. Did you try
actually talking to someone at Audi Customer Care (not that they do). When you do, be nice and ask to speak to a supervisor and then explain your situation.
However, you should remember why you have your car in the first place. It was a Canadian car in Florida and the owner couldn't get it registered in Florida. (IIRC). There had to be a reason for that. (Not that the reason would have to make ANY sense).

Sucks, there have been people who have imported canadian cars to the US
Marni Ritchie being one I believe. I think all Ned did was put in a US instrument cluster. You may try giving Ned a call.

Call the US senator and Congressman for...
...the district you will live in. They can help if you lay out the issues and have any documentation. I've tapped them for different things and they get action we can't. Good Luck

Ned took two of our Vancouver BC 92 spec cars down to Washington State.
so he should definitely know what's what. Igor Kessel's 97 S6 (advertized on the weekend) is a 97 Canadian S6 that he imported to Pennsylvania about 1999.
