I thought Bill Gates did something to get the 959 approved when they were new?

The AUDI (B5) RS4s had the same issues as the CSL but a number of US owners found a way to get them on the US soil so there may be a way around it for you and your Cecil as well, depending on the particular State's laws. Which State are U moving to BTW ?

Maneesh's Cecil was already on US soil just ever so slightly off shore

Might be easier to bring Cecil through Newark, New Jersey just across the water from NYC. Check with the DMV in both states to see who's more lenient.
