Oh. Well, it could pass inspection more easily (I think), but I'm not

Wow; that's like so cool. Of course, Subaru's 2007 Impreza isn't so
very different from my 1993 either for some parts, but not the stupid
headlights. Anyway, thanks very much for the ideas. Some organizations
apparently do give very generous values on donated vehicles, so that
might still come out ahead.
