    Fuck the government and their bullshit. These GT-R's that don't meet safety spec are about to be allowed legally into the country in several years but they are illegal now. Magically at age 25+ everything becomes safe(as far as the law is concerned), leading to the conclusion that we should have been able to import the shit to begin with.
    Nah it is 25 years because then you pretty much have to be a car enthusiast that is after a classic car, since 25 year old cars usually require a lot of attention.

    If they allowed these cars in a lot earlier, there would be people flooding the market with imports.

    We have the pre 1989 rule, which used to be the 15 year old rule, but with the years more and more cars of interest became 15 years old and people were importing them left right and center, so to prevent that from happening they froze the date at 1989. They should hopefully revise that some time soon as it has been 9 years since that rule was put in place.

      Right, but the Federal DOT will crush an enthusiasts R32 but on 1/14 (one year from now) they will not crush and scrap the same enthusiasts car assuming it is an R32 from 1989. It makes no sense to have arbitrary laws that they will act so irrationally on when obviously the concern isn't the safety of the road. If safety was a concern they wouldn't be allowed at all.

      • shit old enough seems soooo rare on the market
        Hatchbacks, wagons... It's NOT all the same. You want in? Don't get a mazda 3, get a mazda 6 wagon. Don't get a wrx get a legacy wagon. and theres a reason the A3 isn't called the A3 avant... Scion does not make a wagon it makes a weird van, but no wagons

        Sincerely,

        P.S. Is your tail a wagon?

        Show cars are lame.

            The reason for the crushing of the car would not be the car itself, but the actions of the individual importing the car.
            Until the car is 25 years old it is illegal to import, therefore the individual that imported the car 1 year too early has broken the law and should therefore be punished. And generally cars that are illegal to import and do not comply with road standards get sent to the crusher.

            I don't agree with these type of laws, but I understand how they work.

              • Nothing annoys me more than being interrupted in the morning. You see me eating cereal at my desk, why the fuck do you think I want to get up and let it get soggy so you can show me something that isn't important? Hold your ass for 10 minutes. /rage


                Morning all.

                      Seriously. I got back to my desk 10 minutes later and it was all mush. Thanks a fucking lot.

                      I wouldn't care if it was something important. But some people feel that it's necessary to tell me how to do my job, when they have absolutely no idea how to do any part of it.

                      That's another 15.5 hours away for me. I can't wait to go home and sleep in tomorrow.
