Petition to allow imports over 15 years old in USA

[mahfouzman]

Hey guys, I'm new to this site and I've been going around trying to raise awareness for a petition that was created to allow us to import cars such as Skylines and Silvias without having to pay tens of thousands of dollars to bring them up to NHTSA code. If you guys could sign this I would really appreciate it and I'm sure that anyone who wants to import a Silvia or Skyline (like me) would also appreciate it. Thanks guys :)

Any compelling reason for this other than you just want to? Not trying to be a dick, and I agree, but they probably aren't going to change the law so you can import a skyline.

got mine in.

Well I'm surely not the only one who would love to import something haha, but aside from just wanting to import, I think it's time that these big businesses stop controlling what we can and can't drive on the invalid excuse that imported vehicles don't meet NHTSA, EPA, and DOT standards. I mean come on, there are people who drive 40 year old vehicles that are barely held together that pose an actual threat to the driver and those around him, and release so much pollution it's ridiculous, yet the EPA and NHTSA don't go after them, so why pick on the people who want to import a nice car?

Haven't been to California yet have you...

At the rate the government is going you'll be lucky if they don't axe the 25 year rule.

^^^This, some congressman under some car company's pocket is already pushing for a bill to axe the 25 yr car rule.

Naw man I live in Michigan haha, I've lived here all my life. But I do know all about Cali's strict emissions laws and stuff, crazy.

lemme guess, your dream is to own a skyline?! =)

[mahfouzman]

Well not necessarily a dream, it would just be really nice to be able to import a skyline or a silvia :)

I love how people put skylines on a pedestal and not realize they're the honda accords of Japan.

I'm sure he's talking about wanting to import a Skyline GT-R. GT-R's are on a pedestal in both countries.
