[Vwpickups] instrument cluster

[David Utley]

Take your VIN on your pickup and put it on that one, or have it titled in
another state...


IIRC, Oregon is trying to outlaw the sale of tires from anywhere but the
dealer...  The Greenies there don't have a clue.

Oregon has a sick new law. When a car goes to a wrecking yard, it MUST be 
sold for parts. It can NOT be licensed again.  There is a pristine p/u at 
Autocraft here is Salem. Bruce can only part it out. How sad to see such a 
beautiful truck out of existence.
