I can't tell whether to laugh, cry or scream. "Not for american roads"

An illegal and unsafe vehicle, but you can still buy and drive a 1971 Ford Pinto, or a 1960 corvair, or a 1984 fiero, or a 1991 Ford Explorer, or whole host of other highly dangerous but american cars.

What a crime.

There goes an opportunity to cut into that giant US debt...

Just think of the money they (the gov't) could rake in from all those parts!

If you break the rules...you pay the price! Plus it keeps the numbers down and the prices high :lol:

So... no thought of, say, returning it to its rightful owner? :?: :shock:

Doesn't look much worse for wear than some of the units being sold from Suffield... :roll:

Sad to see it crushed but I agree with the others about playing by the import rules.

Cheers, Rob

From reading on D90... they did the same thing with Skylines from Japan a few years ago.... it's called making a statement....
