the trouble is if they aren't tested using OUR tests the government disallows them with a passion and will even seize and crush them if they find one.
There was a local guy with (2) japanese collector cars (19 years old) that he imported from europe, he got sued and had them repro'd and crushed but the fed.
I think all this BS must stop, we need to start somewhere and I think cars are one of the few subjects americans could agree on.
i also strongly disagree with the safety BS, rate them and put them on the road, if people know the rating their wallet will decide.
