Message	With the extra years and money spent to make it equivalent to a non-96 and the extra time I have to spend every 2 years to pass smog... ugh. With the U.S. being the only place to carry the crappy OBDII 96, the strong aftermarket support from Japan and Australia is lacking = less desirable. As much as I love the car that I have now, if I had to do it all over again I would have walked away from this 96 and gotten a different year 2+2... with the butterfly effect included. *********************************
