the fed don’t care about skylines, they care about people profiting by violating law. if I had one of these cars right now, I’d pretend I never read the letter and drive the car to Canada and part it or sell it. ---

I wonder if they’ll be sending letters to get drugs off the street too? I honestly think instead of correcting the little things that pollute, like cars for instance, maybe we should put a damper on hmm cutting down a rainforest, or launching rocket after rocket into space. But now we know, Skylines cause global warming. ---
